Dr. ⁤Al-Ayat: One‌ of the most ⁤pressing challenges ⁤we face is ‌the severe shortage of laboratory equipment and medications. Our facilities and staff⁤ are passionate and dedicated, but‍ without the ‌necessary tools, it becomes ⁤increasingly⁤ difficult to deliver the quality of ​care that our patients deserve. During the visit, we highlighted these issues to ensure that they are at the forefront of the⁢ conversation regarding⁤ healthcare ‍improvements.

Editor: And you mentioned the need‌ to raise the efficiency of medical and auxiliary personnel. ⁢Can you elaborate on⁤ how you plan to achieve that, especially considering Libya’s⁢ recent crises?

Dr. Al-Ayat: Certainly. The training of our personnel is‍ critical.‌ We are looking ​towards collaborations with ​countries that ‌have successfully⁤ managed mental health care. Sharing best practices and learning from their experiences can ‍boost⁣ our capacities significantly. ⁤Additionally, investment in continuous education and training programs is necessary to‌ equip our staff with the latest knowledge and techniques ⁤in mental ‍health care.

Editor: Collaboration with external ⁢entities sounds promising. How‌ do ⁣you ‌envision the role of the government moving forward in supporting Al-Razi Hospital and similar ‌institutions?

Dr. ⁤Al-Ayat: Government support is essential. We need policies that ‍not only allocate funds but also focus on long-term mental ⁢health ⁢strategies. Raising awareness ‍about mental health, ‌providing sufficient ‌funding for⁢ necessary equipment, ‌and ensuring accessible ⁤medications are critical steps. We hope that with the attention from ⁣leaders like Mr. ⁢Al-Koni, we⁢ can create a more robust framework that addresses these⁤ needs‌ effectively.

Editor: It’s heartening to hear your commitment ‌to improving mental health services in Libya. Lastly, what message would you like to convey to the public regarding ‌mental health, especially⁣ in ‍light of the​ challenges the country ⁢has faced recently?

Dr. Al-Ayat: I would urge everyone to view​ mental health‌ as a crucial component of ⁤overall well-being. ‍The aftermath of crises can leave long-lasting impacts that⁢ need to be addressed, not⁣ just in the context ⁣of physical health but ⁤psychologically⁢ as well. It’s vital⁣ for individuals⁢ to seek⁣ help​ and for society to support those struggling with mental health issues.‌ We ‌are here for ‌them, and with the right support, we ⁢can ⁣make a difference.

Editor: Thank you, Dr. Al-Ayat, for sharing ​your insights and for the‌ important work you⁢ and your team are undertaking at Al-Razi Hospital. We ‌look forward to seeing positive changes in‌ the mental health landscape​ of Libya.
