2nd Year Anniversary Celebration of the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Dawanau 🎉 A New Era of Excellence in Mental Healthcare 🎉
On this remarkable day, 25th May 2025, we proudly celebrate the 2nd anniversary of the Federal Neuropsychiatric Hospital, Dawanau, Kano State, and the 1st anniversary since its official transition and upgrade by the Federal Government from the former Kano State-owned Psychiatric Hospital, Dawanau.
This milestone marks not just the passage of time, but a powerful transformation story from a once neglected facility to a now vibrant, functional, and ever-improving center of excellence in mental healthcare.
At the forefront of this remarkable journey is our pioneer Medical Director, Associate Professor Auwalu Sani Salihu, whose visionary leadership and unwavering commitment to service have redefined the landscape of psychiatric care in Northern Nigeria.
Key Achievements Under His Administration Include: Extensive renovation and remodeling of patients’ wards, ensuring comfort, dignity, and improved clinical outcomes, (General Outpatient Department) Unit, now fully equipped to deliver quality and prompt mental health services, complete upgrade of the administrative block, enhanced staff welfare programs, training, and professional development opportunities, a significant improvement in patients’ care and safety, with strengthened systems for mental health service delivery, initiation and completion of several capital projects that have turned the hospital into a beacon of hope for thousands.
We sincerely appreciate the dedication of our leadership, staff, and all stakeholders.
As we reflect on our progress and look ahead to the future, we remain committed to delivering world-class mental healthcare and to being a place of compassion, healing, and innovation.
