A tertiary specialist psychiatric hospital of the Anambra State Hospitals Management Board, mandated to provide diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation services for mental illness to residents of Anambra State, the wider South-East, and patients referred from across Nigeria.
Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Nawfia is a government-owned tertiary facility under the Anambra State Hospitals Management Board, mandated to diagnose, treat, and rehabilitate patients with mental illness. The hospital serves as a referral facility for patients across Anambra State, the wider South-East, and other parts of Nigeria, operating in-patient wards and out-patient clinics.
To provide accessible, evidence-based, and compassionate psychiatric care to every patient who walks through our doors, regardless of means — through coordinated in-patient, out-patient, diagnostic, and rehabilitative services delivered by a multidisciplinary clinical team.
To be a referral centre of choice for specialist mental healthcare in Anambra State and the South-East, respected for clinical excellence, dignity of care, and continual investment in the skills of our clinical and support staff.
Compassion, professionalism, and integrity guide every ward round and clinic session delivered at this hospital, alongside accountability to patients, families, and the wider community we serve.
The hospital's departments are grouped under two directorates — Clinical Services and Administration — coordinated by the Office of the Principal Medical Officer in Charge.
Every patient who comes through our doors deserves care that is timely, dignified, and delivered by a team that takes their wellbeing seriously. As Principal Medical Officer in Charge, my responsibility is to ensure that the departments and staff of this hospital work together — clinically and administratively — to make that standard of care the norm, not the exception, for every family we serve across Anambra State and the wider South-East of Nigeria.
As Clinical Head, my commitment is to bring consultant-level psychiatric expertise and evidence-based treatment protocols directly into the wards and clinics of this hospital — and it shows in who we serve: patients travel from across Anambra State, the South-East, and beyond to receive care here, drawn by our strong record of positive treatment outcomes.
