Message of Mrs. Cavaco Silva read in the inaugural ceremony of the S. João de Deus Museum – Psychiatry and History
Sintra, 7 March 2009

Since it was totally impossible for me to attend this so relevant moment for the Order of the Brothers of S. João de Deus, I wish to express my gratitude for the very much they have for Mental Health in our country.

That this Museum will show the long trajectories gone through in such a sensitive and difficult area.

That it helps us become more aware of the dignity of the human being, in whatever circumstances.

Maria Cavaco Silva
