Addressing the Needs of Neuropsychiatric Patients

Sunday Okobi writes on how best to address the needs of Neuropsychiatric patients with mental disorders, through quality mental health services delivery and easy access to infrastructure

Apart from being renowned for providing excellent services like Child and Adolescent Psychiatry, Community Psychiatry, Consultation-Liaison Psychiatry, Drug Addiction Treatment, Education and Research, Psychiatry, Emergency and Assessment Psychiatry, Psychotherapy, Forensic Psychiatry and Geriatric Psychiatry, Agbonile, told THISDAY recently that the hospital services have been expanded to include general medical services, dialysis, ultrasound, and digital X-ray services.

While reeling out the achievements of the federal health agency, Agbonile, who was appointed the substantive Medical Director/CEO on October 1, 2020, sounded out without any atom of immodesty that since his assumption of office, “the hospital has made phenomenal progress in several areas. It is worthy of note that the state of infrastructure that I met before I took charge of affairs of the hospital was really not complimentary so to speak.

In view of the ongoing brain drain of health workers in the country, we have been able to obtain a waiver from the federal government to carry out replacement recruitment of staff to mitigate the effect of personnel shortages, he added.

Meanwhile, Agbonile noted that all the achievements recorded by his administration did not come seamlessly without surmountable hiccups. He disclosed that the major challenges his administration had encountered included inadequate funding, uncompleted capital projects at their new site, inadequate power supply from BEDC with the consequent drain on their meager resources.
