Cover of the document.
From Treball Social we have collaborated in this consensus.
Bianca Beltrán, head of Social Work at the CSI, has participated in the document "Proposals to offer better health care to the homeless", presented a couple of days ago at the College of Doctors of Barcelona (CoMB).
The document, in which the CSI has participated with representatives of centers such as the Sant Joan de Déu Hospital, the Clínic Hospital, the medical colleges of Barcelona; of nurses, social work and pharmacists, CAMFiC and the City Council.
The aim of the consensus document is to contribute to making visible an existing reality, that of homelessness, in Barcelona and other urban centres, and to publicize the position of the multidisciplinary Working Group of the CoMB #SalutSenseLlar, in which they claim and propose improvements in addressing the health and needs of the population in this situation (nearly 1.400 people in the city of Barcelona and an estimated 5.500 in Catalonia) in Barcelona, among others.
The fact of not having access to housing, to a home, directly and clearly affects the health of people in a situation of homelessness and determines the decrease in their life expectancy. For this reason, the Working Group requests as the first and main measure, the regulation of access to housing, as a right provided for in the Constitution (Art. 47) and the Statute of Catalonia (Art. 26), and the orientation of all public policies towards the guarantee of this right.
