Asylum patients deserve dignity and comfort, often they are subjected to substandard conditions that deprive them of these basic human rights. Many patients are forced to wear paper scrubs, a travesty that is not only uncomfortable but can also induce rashes due to the poor quality of the material. In uncertain conditions, clothing should bring warmth, not discomfort.

As per a report by 'Human Rights Watch', inappropriate clothing can deepen the distress of asylum patients and increase their psychological vulnerability (Human Rights Watch, 2015). It is time to rethink and reevaluate our approach towards healthcare in asylums.

We believe that everyone has the right to comfort and dignity, regardless of the circumstance. We call on the authorities to ensure that all asylum patients are given appropriate, comfortable, and suitable clothing to wear, and not just dispensable paper scrubs.
