(...) This shows the lack of an effective “gatekeeping” policy in the health-care sector and, above all, the urgent need for coordination between the social welfare and health sectors. 54. The capacity in psychiatric institutions continues to escalate, as shown by the increasing number of psychiatric beds32 and the increasing amount of financial resources directed at enhancing hospital infrastructure, a situation that was observed by the Special Rapporteur in his visit to a psychiatric hospital in Zagreb which was in the process of expanding, with the construction of a new building for forensic patients. 55. (...) European Union structural funds should be directed at building up a modern rights- compliant system throughout Croatia, with services that prevent referrals both to psychiatric hospitals and to large residential institutions.

During her visit, the Special Rapporteur went to Asunción Psychiatric Hospital, the Nueva Paz foster home for persons with psychosocial disabilities and the Albino Luis shelter for boys and girls with disabilities located in Asunción. (...) The foster homes initiative should be revived as a transitional support measure to promote a return to community living for persons with disabilities who have been institutionalized in the psychiatric hospital in Asunción. However, the initiative should be improved and extended throughout the country, guaranteeing a rights-based approach, reducing the number of persons per home and ensuring a full range of support services for independent living in the community.

Paraguay has a history of mental health services closely linked and limited to assisting users of mental health services, including persons with disabilities, through institutionalization in the only public psychiatric hospital in the country, the Psychiatric Hospital in Asunción. 95.
