In Lagkadikia camp, many respondents shared that they had to wait several weeks or even months to get an appointment at a hospital in Thessaloniki and struggled to attend due to the financial costs of travelling there using public transportation, and lack of interpreters in the hospital. Despite the high number of families in the camp there was no paediatrician on site and respondents reported issues with long waiting times for vaccination appointments for their children. In Serres, the main activity of the medical team was making referrals to hospitals, according to interview participants. However, transportation to appointments was reportedly provided by the camp only on an ad hoc basis. One respondent reported that due to lack of interpreters in Serres hospital he chose to accompany a pregnant woman who was resident in the camp to an appointment. A 32 year old man in Koutsochero camp, one of the more isolated facilities, reported having to pay 40-50 euros to pay for a taxi to the hospital, in addition to the cost of medicines. Despite the high proportion of interview respondents reporting that they experienced mental health challenges during their stay in a camp and required psychosocial support, only one respondent, in Kavala camp, reported that they received adequate psychosocial support from the medical unit in the camp. On the other hand, residents in Katsikas and Serres were not aware of any psychological support available on site, whilst a young woman in Ritsona camp reported that she was not able to access a psychologist in the camp and had to rely on a CSO to find one. Additional issues related to provision of health care for vulnerable groups were noted by interviewees and are covered below (from page 36). Photo: Employee containers at Corinth camp.
