History[edit | edit source]
Ingutsheni Hospital was established in 1908 as a hospital for refugees, primarily serving black people in Zimbabwe. White people were also temporarily assisted but were later deported or taken to South Africa if deemed to be suffering from lunacy.[6] In 1933, the hospital was converted into a psychiatric hospital and has since been dedicated to providing quality mental health care services to the people of Zimbabwe.
