The Hospital...
The hospital is spread
over 210 acres of lush green campus. There are 16 wards -
nine for male patients, six for female patients and a Family Unit. They
have a total bed capacity of 643. Each ward is of pavilion
type and has well laid out roads and lawns around it. The wards were
built during the British Raj, and are named after eminent European
psychiatrists and physicians. The wards are at some distance from each
other, and the male and female sections are separated by a high wall.
Unlike other mental hospitals, CIP, Ranchi has never been a custodial
care facility. It has always been an open hospital and the patients are
never confined to rooms. They are free to roam within the boundary wall
of the hospital.

Every year, about 3000 patients are admitted and discharged after
treatment. Individualized patient care is a regular practice in the
hospital. Regular bedside rounds ensure quality care for the patients
and training for the residents and students. Besides pharmacotherapy,
electroconvulsive therapy, psychotherapies and family interventions are
routinely employed. A milieu therapy approach exists where patients
participate in running the ward and help in looking after other
patients. Regular physical exercise, outdoor and indoor games and Yoga
are on hand for the patients. A very well stacked library having books
in English, Hindi, Urdu and Bengali as well as a number of newspapers
and magazines is freely accessible to the patients.
Our
staff recognizes the vulnerability of patients during their inpatient
stay. To address this state of mind, we focus on stabilizing
the patient and planning short-and long-term treatments for the
patient's psychological, social, and physiological problems. Before we
discharge a patient from the inpatient unit, we make every effort to
coordinate with the patient‘s family and the referring
professional on the patient's continuing outpatient care. We consider
this contact and coordination crucial to the success of treatment.
Caring for the full range of psychiatric problems, our expert,
multidisciplinary staff includes professionals from a broad range of
health care disciplines. Our nurses are experienced in managing
severely disturbed psychiatric patients and with psychological
interventions for special populations, such as the demented elderly or
substance abusers. Having broad experience and training in managing
concurrent medical disorders, they have access to the services
available in general hospitals locally.
