Study summary

The aim is to provide a comprehensive assessment regarding the service provision and the accessibility to intensive mental health care in Rwanda

Read the detailed description

For a one-year period, descriptive data on all inpatients with age > 18 years, discharged from Ndera Hospital the only inpatient psychiatric hospital in Rwanda, will be collected from files. The descriptive data includes diagnosis, duration of hospitalization, medication, addiction, insurance, Somatic- and psychiatric comorbidity, referral pathways, employment status, number of previous hospitalizations. To the investigators' knowledge, there is no descriptive data on psychiatric inpatients in the country of Rwanda. Therefore, this. Information will be crucial for understanding the service provision at the referral hospitals and the accessibility to intensive mental health care in Rwanda. The data will be anonymized and recorded - this ensures the data cannot be linked to anyone subject which supplied it.
