Awareness raising on mental health in Ngozi

On the October 10th, 2021 the Ngozi Neuropsychiatric Centre (Ngozi NPC) celebrated the World Mental Health Day with a Radio programme to raise awareness of the Burundian population on mental health. The focus was the promotion of well-being with a multidisciplinary approach to prevent mental illness and the management of mental disorders based on community participation. The Radio programme was held on the Radio TV Buntu.

On the same day, the Ngozi NPC also visited the Rwisabi Health Centre to sensitise patients and the local population on the integration of mental health in primary health care.
