What We Do

Insula County Hospital has been continuously caring for their patients' mental health for seven decades; ever since its foundation in 1955. Although its beginnings were marked by working in modest conditions in temporarily adapted buildings of an abandoned concentration camp, over the years, depending on possibilities, they increased the capacity for admitting patients, equipped specialized wards for the treatment of various diseases, and invested in the education of medical personnel.
