Submit list of schizophrenia care centres: HC to Delhi Govt, AIIMS
New Delhi: The Delhi High Court recently asked the Delhi Government and the All India Institute of Medical Sciences (AIIMS) to submit details about the facilities available in and around the national capital which provides care and treatment to patients with schizophrenia.
This comes while Virtually hearing a petition filed by the mother of a schizophrenia patient seeking various reliefs and directions to the State Government and the authority of AIIMS in view of the mental condition of her son, who is 32 years of age.
In an earlier hearing on the case on 26th March, the court had directed AIIMS to file a report pertaining to the OPD card of the petitioner's son and also the events which transpired on the admission of the Petitioner's son to AIIMS.
Responding to the court order, AIIMS in its report submitted that a Senior Resident in Psychiatry at AIIMS had examined the Petitioner's son and had diagnosed him with `Schizophrenia'.
