A joint mission to assess the public health situation of migrants in Greek detention centres was undertaken in April 2011 by the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO) Regional Office for Europe. The assessment visit follows the increased migration to the Evros prefecture, Eastern Macedonia and Thrace region, at the Greek-Turkish border where large numbers of migrants are entering Greece via the Evros River, a natural border. Migrants are housed in local detention centres. The main problem in detention centres are the substandard hygiene conditions, especially overcrowding and lack of personal hygiene facilities, lack of basic supplies and lack of access to fresh air and physical exercise. As the migration route via the Evros region is increasingly used since 2009, and due to the unstable political situation in North Africa and the Middle East, an increased influx of migrants was to be expected with the falling water levels of the Evros River in summer, resulting in further deterioration of the already critical situation in the Thrace region’s detention centres.
2011 年 4 月，欧洲疾病预防控制中心（ECDC）和世界卫生组织（WHO）欧洲区域办事处对希腊拘留中心移民的公共卫生状况进行了联合评估。此次评估访问是在大量移民通过自然边界的埃夫罗斯河进入希腊东马其顿和色雷斯地区的埃夫罗斯省之后进行的。移民被安置在当地拘留中心。拘留中心的主要问题是卫生条件不达标，尤其是过度拥挤和缺乏个人卫生设施、基本用品短缺以及缺乏新鲜空气和体育锻炼。自 2009 年以来，通过埃夫罗斯地区的移民路线越来越多，而且由于北非和中东的政治局势不稳定，预计随着夏季埃夫罗斯河水位下降，移民人数将会增加，这将进一步恶化色雷斯地区拘留中心已经岌岌可危的状况。
