Safeguarding the fragile is a
Constitutional right, President Sergio Mattarella said in a
message to the second national conference on mental health
Friday.
Mattarella sent "keenly felt greetings to the conference, set up
by the health ministry 20 years after the first edition."
He said "Italy was a pioneer in these issues laying the basis
for the overcoming of limits and barriers in safeguarding people
with psychiatric illnesses.
"The treatment of mental health is a complex challenge and
requires that the most fragile are followed and safeguarded in
compliance with their Constitutional rights", he said in the
telegramme.
