During the opening, the minister stressed the need for attention to mental health patients, highlighting ministry’s keenness to provide mental health services in its specialised clinics in all governorates of the Kingdom.

He pointed out that the expansion of the hospital, which was built in 1987, will make “a qualitative leap” in providing adequate treatment and care services for mental health patients.
