They told us to go and buy medicines from the market. I told them we do not have money, but they said that no, we cannot give you any medicines.” 29 year old woman from Afghanistan, Kavala camp “The doctor in the camp is only available on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Whenever I go there I use my phone for translation. There is only one translator in the camp and they are not for these things, [they are working] at the administration.” 33 year old woman from Afghanistan, Lagkadikia camp “I needed a doctor many times and haven’t been able to access one.
