History

[edit | edit source]

Ingutsheni is a government referral hospital located in the second largest capital city of Zimbabwe, Bulawayo. It was established in 1908, as the hospital for refugees and was meant to serve black people in Zimbabwe only. The white people were also assisted on temporary basis and were deported or taken to South Africa after being attributed to lunacy.[5] Ingutsheni hospital specialises in providing psychiatric care to the community members in Zimbabwe. The hospital was converted to a psychiatrist hospital in 1933.
