Department of Psychiatry - RAWALPINDI MEDICAL UNIVERSITY

Welcome To

Institute of Psychiatry BBH

The Institute of Psychiatry, an academic unit of Rawalpindi Medical College, was established in 1973 as the Department of Psychiatry at Central Government Hospital, Rawalpindi (now known as Benazir Bhutto Hospital). It has grown over the years to achieve international recognition for not only filling a critical gap in mental health services in Pakistan but also being a pioneering center for psychiatric care, education, and research in the country. This includes involvement in policy planning, mental health legislation, the development of mental health services, and the training of mental health professionals. The Institute also initiated teaching programs at both undergraduate and postgraduate levels and engages in research and evaluation. Furthermore, it is recognized as a center of excellence for postgraduate training in psychiatry within the country and proudly holds the distinction that the majority of the prominent fellows of Psychiatry of College of Physicians and Surgeons of Pakistan have, at some point, received training within its corridors.

Following is a summary of the key milestones achieved by the Institute of Psychiatry over the years:
