Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital Introduces Cutting-edge Medical Services

The Federal Neuro-Psychiatric Hospital (FNPH) in Benin City has introduced cutting-edge medical services that bridge the gap between mental health care and specialized treatments.

This significant expansion which encompasses surgery, obstetrics/gynaecology, cardiology, and neurological services no doubt represent a major milestone in the hospital’s ongoing efforts to provide holistic and integrated healthcare services to the general public. It is noteworthy that the hospital also provides state-of-the-art molecular laboratory, radio-diagnostic, 4-D ultrasound services including immunization etc.

The chief medical director/CEO of the hospital, Dr Imafidon Agbonile, who disclosed this in a press statement, made available to LEADERSHIP, said the commencement of these new medical services at the hospital is not only aimed at broadening the scope of care available to patients but also at addressing the pervasive stigma associated with mental illness.

By offering a diverse range of medical services within a single institution, the hospital is fostering a more inclusive environment that normalizes seeking treatment for both mental and physical health issues. Patients can now receive comprehensive care within the same facility, thereby reducing the stress to travel multiple facilities for different health concerns. This integration ensures continuity of care, reduces stress for patients, enhances overall outcomes and even encourages more individuals to seek necessary care without fear of judgment or stigma.

Furthermore, the expansion of services by the current hospital management is strategically designed to also improve the hospital’s internally generated revenue (IGR). This no doubt is a win-win scenario for the hospital.
