FG To Build 15 Psychiatric Outposts In South East by ArewaNorth: 10:45pm On Apr 09, 2023
The Federal Government is poised to enhance mental health in the South East with the establishment of 15 outposts in the five states of the zone.

Medical Director of the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Enugu, Monday Igwe, disclosed this at a press briefing shortly after he resumed office following his re-appointment by President Muhammadu Buhari for a second term of four years.

He explained the outposts would be located in each of the senatorial districts, noting that the essence was to make access to mental health services easier for the people of the zone.

He disclosed nine out of the 15 proposed outposts had been completed and equipped and would be operational soonest with ambulances readily available to convey patients to Enugu in major cases.

Igwe said: “This hospital is the only psychiatric facility in the entire South East region. It is also the only facility that is made to train doctors and nurses in psychiatry. It is also the only facility that offers research in terms of mental health in the South East. It is also our mandate to give clinical services to people that have mental illnesses.

“The hospital also is available for the people of South South and some parts of North Central region of the country. So, if we don’t do well, we will be leaving Nigerians to suffer. That’s why we want to make this place to be the best and centre of excellence in mental health practice.

“There are a number of ways to actualise this. Since many people live very far away from Enugu State, we want to make sure our 15 newly built outposts in South East are operational.

“We have ensured each of the 15 senatorial districts in the South East has one outpost. We have successfully completed and equipped nine of the outposts while the rest are still ongoing.

“Those ones we have completed are going to be activated. We are going to post our staff there.”

The medical director received a rousing welcome from staff of the hospital, where he thanked the president for finding him worthy of another tenure in office.

Igwe took over a fractured health institution four years ago and has made efforts to restore the lost glory of the hospital.

Am just hitting you with the reality that jaa befalling Nigeria and you are still defending Tinubu....lols

This is not about TINUBU, Tinubu might be a good man but the spiritual Powers that be , that Controls all physical powers has put Nigeria in a karma state , that if the rights are continued to be played wrong,......NOTHING GOOD WILL EVER BEFALL THIS COUNTRY!!!!!....

Tinubu or any other man that is not an Igbo man can never I mean CAN NEVER get anything right as a President of this country....

Even though thier Policies and their implementations strategies can appear world class , but on implementation, it will be worst than what it was before ...

Go and ask Buhari why even his people attacked him when in 2015 they were singing SAI BABA...SAI BabA to him ....

Relax and continue to speak out of hatred .....

Tinubu if inugurated come 29th May 2023, with all his good intentions, even giving Nigerians a Muslim Muslim ticket as one of the good intentions , will soon be attacked by his own people.....

Go and keep this date.....and continue to vomit what you don't know how deep it appears....lols
