Overview

As there is no health without mental health, the Psychiatry Department is at the core of holistic medical care in Believers Church Medical College Hospital. The vision of our department is "To reduce stigma not support". With this goal in mind, we started with an outpatient department called the Prashanthi Clinic. As a fully functional department with outpatient and inpatient facilities, we provide expert advice and care. The Psychiatry Department has many senior Psychiatrists, Psychologists, and nurses trained in psychiatric care.
