Bethsada Mental Health Center
“At sunset, the people brought to Jesus all who had various kinds of sickness, and laying his hands on each one, he healed them”. {Luke 4:40}
Looking after the sick certainly is one of the very important facets of Christian Mission. And we have lots of Missionary Hospitals spread across the country, who are all doing quite a good service. Among physical health, one thing that often gets neglected is mental health which varies very widely in nature and character from case to case. Often, due to a sort stigma, people tend to hide mental disorders or such ill functioning of relatives which makes greater problems at later stages. These sorts of things do happen due to lack of proper awareness among the people and the Society decided to initiate efforts to rectify them as best as possible. Bethsada Mental Health Center is the result of these efforts.
As of now, the services available at this Center can be summed up as:
- Day time O P facility
- 100 bed I P facility
- Long Term Care facility for patients where effective nursing is difficult at home
- De addiction center
- Treatment for Alzheimer’s decease
