Gambia: The Minister of Health Should Take Note

[Foroyaa]Foroyaa has been reliably informed that chains are still being used in private mental health facilities to restrain mentally ill patients. This is against all health norms and practices.

They could display more strength than their normal body size because of delusions of grandeur that makes them to think and act like giants or lions.
