Additionally, emergency care provided by MSF has been curtailed and at times restricted. According to BVMN, 27% of testimonies from the Samos CCAC explicitly mentioned the lack of psychological support in the facility. 106 One state appointed psychologist is responsible for conducting the vulnerability assessments of newly arrived people in addition to providing mental health support for the CCAC population. 107 105 ______(2) Mainland Research on camps undertaken by MIT and RLS in 2024, evidenced that 72% of 30 interview respondents reported that they did not have their basic health care needs met by medical teams operating inside camps, while 60% reported issues accessing healthcare outside mainland camps, for instance in hospitals. 108 Regarding access to psychosocial support, 33% of respondents specified that they attempted to access such support inside mainland camps but were not able to access it. 109 The mental health conditions of people seeking asylum were further deteriorated by extended stays in undignified conditions in camps. 110 Out of 19 respondents interviewed by MIT and RLS in 2023, only one person was seen by a psychologist during reception and identification procedures carried out in the mainland RICs of Diavata and Malakasa. 111 4.
