Welcome
The Institute of Psychiatry, was founded by the efforts of Professor Ahmed Okasha. It is a center dedicated to provide high quality psychiatric care, educational and research activities. Service stared in July 1990 and since that time, it offers specialized care in response to public need and enhanced by education, research and technology. The institute has not stopped expanding since then, with new units that adapt updated techniques and address new issues in psychiatry established as needed. In 2017, the most recent addition is a new educational and service building containing a lecture hall and 4 clinics.
