The Georgetown Public Hospital (GPH) yesterday re-launched its psychiatric facility, offering both in-patient and out-patient services.
Built at the cost of $100 million, the Mental Health Institute has been presented by the Ministry of Health as one that will provide a higher standard of mental health service. The principle is to ensure that patients when experiencing mental trauma, can come and get the necessary treatment and after the episode has been managed they can then return to their respective homes and still have access to care closer to their home.
