“Patients are scared and embarrassed when they come to this place because there is a general impression that it is a psychiatric hospital and severe mental illnesses are treated here,” he said.
Rejecting such an impression, Dr. Ujan said this hospital treats patients suffering from depression and other ailments that is why it was named as “Sub Specialty Clinic”.
The future of our country depends on our children and parents should keep an eye on their children activities and develop them well because what they see and learn in childhood are doing the same when they grow up, he suggested.
