More on ABBA's Work

ABBA’s International Healing Center Inc. works with local hospitals and other charity organizations to share the load of mentally ill individuals, these organizations already support. A mental hospital is being built in the Maniema province in DR Congo to serve as a primary treatment facility. A network of small patient care centers will be developed in remote rural areas. Patients will be received in the main hospital or in the care center, where if diagnosed with a mental illness, will be transferred to the main hospital for treatment.

If the patient is diagnosed with a severe trauma, he/she is going to be hospitalized for the duration of his/her treatment, provided with a bed and three meals a day. If otherwise the case is not severe, the patient will be treated by appointment and provided with free medicines. An ongoing training program of local psychiatric medical practitioners will be implemented to ensure sustainability and raise the local human capital in the field of psychology.
