Abstract

Rehabilitation services for homeless persons with mental illness (MI), especially females, are rudimentary in India. The Mental Healthcare Act, (MHCA) 2017 of India advocates community-based living for persons with MI where the role of the police is more defined. The aim is to highlight the role of the police helping in the treatment and rehabilitation of homeless females with MI through demonstration of a series of three cases. Three cases have been described in which the patients with MI were found by the police on the street. They were brought to the hospital and engaged in treatment network by the police, who then also facilitated their rehabilitation back in the community. The three cases are an illustration of Section 100 of MHCA 2017, which defines the specific role of the police. The police was guided by the said section to work in collaboration with the treating team for the overall well-being of the patients. Adequate utilization of available resources, along with the legislation can help in the upgradation of the neglected homeless individuals with MI.
印度立法在无家可归的精神病女性康复中的作用:三个案例系列
在印度,为患有精神疾病的无家可归者,特别是女性提供的康复服务还很初级。印度2017年《精神卫生保健法》(MHCA)倡导MI患者的社区生活,在社区生活中,警察的角色更加明确。目的是通过一系列三起案件的示范,突出警察在帮助患有MI的无家可归女性治疗和康复方面的作用。已经描述了三起MI患者被警察在街上发现的案件。他们被带到医院,由警察参与治疗网络,然后警察也为他们在社区的康复提供便利。这三起案件是MHCA 2017第100条的例证,该条定义了警察的具体角色。警方在上述部门的指导下,与治疗团队合作,为患者的整体健康服务。充分利用现有资源,再加上立法,可以帮助被忽视的MI无家可归者升级。
