In any case, the Greek Government should ensure that detained migrants and asylum seekers are treated in a humane and dignified manner and that those who wish to do so are given the possibility to seek asylum. Until the new reception system is put in place and for as long as new arrivals are kept in detention centers or other detention facilities, such as border police stations, MSF recommends that the government of Greece: • Ensure dignified living conditions in detention facilities for migrants and asylum seekers, including suitable accommodation, sufficient distribution of food, clothing and personal hygiene items, adequate time outdoors, access to information about the detention system as well as the right to apply for asylum; • Guarantee appropriate hygiene standards in detention facilities for migrants and asylum seekers; • Provide adequate medical care to detained migrants and asylum seekers including specific care for vulnerable groups, such as pregnant women, and systematic medical screening for new arrivals; • Provide psychological counseling and mental health care services to detained migrants and asylum seekers, ensuring adequate interpretation services, as well as specialized support to vulnerable individuals, such as victims of torture; • Ensure the presence of support staff to cover the daily needs of detained migrants and asylum seekers, instead of leaving this to the police; • Establish a screening system for the identification of vulnerable groups and individuals, such as unaccompanied minors, trafficking victims; • Avoid the detention of vulnerable groups: women in advanced pregnancy and nursing mothers, children, chronic patients, persons with disabilities and victims of torture or trafficking; • Refrain from the systematic detention of unaccompanied minors and guarantee their protection during the period of their stay in Greece; • Ensure that staff in detention centers is aware of and respect the rights of detained migrants and asylum seekers. 28
