Admission requirements

At Aastha Psychiatric Care Centre have two type of admissions:

  • Voluntary

We have set of rules for involuntary patients. Relatives need to consult first front desk with all past records of patient (if any). He will sign a document mentioning reason for involuntary admission. Along with this he will submit photo id of patient and guardian.
All above system is kept in place to safeguard patient’s human rights. We follow guidelines from MHCB2017 for admission and treatment of adults and minor.
