Third Psyche Training Course to Enhance Mental Health Care [Archives:2001/08/Health]

The third psyche training course of four weeks duration was inaugurated on February 3, 2001 in the Psychological and Neuro Hospital. The course was organized in collaboration with the British Council and funded by the British Embassy. A number of specialized doctors from the hospital, Sana’a University and Science and Technology University will train 30 persons working in the hospital, Central Prison Authority and some governmental hospitals in the Capital.

The course is to improve mental health and the quality of psychiatric care in Yemen. Psychiatric Nursing is now a key component of mental heath care in every setting. In Yemen, mental health care is constrained by lack of resources and hence, the course was organized to train and qualify trainees to grasp and understand more about psychiatric disturbances and the principles of psychiatric nursing. They will also learn and apply the principles of psychiatric nursing and be trained in the teaching of knowledge and skills to others.
It should be mentioned here that this is the third psyche training course; the first was organized in the hospital, while the second and the third were organized in collaboration with the British council with funding from the British Embassy.
