She says although the hospital has a limited bed capacity, over 1000 patients are admitted to the health facility despite the fact that the hospital has a bed capacity of only 550 beds.

Nakku says mental health has become an advert since the outbreak of COVID-19, calling for more interventions to manage the cases.

She says, in every 10 people, 4 of them are suffering from depression, and this is a source of suffering from mental health-related diseases.
