Historical Overview of the Only Neuro-Psycho-Pathology Center in the Democratic Republic of Congo

? 2022 Elsevier Inc.The Neuro-Psycho-Pathology Center (NPPC) in the Democratic Republic of Congo is a 450-bed neuropsychiatric clinic that pioneered efforts to synergize various disciplines: neurology, neurosurgery, neuropsychiatry, and psychiatry. It serves the brain and behavioral health needs of Congolese patients, and at its peak, the NPPC was a major domestic neuropsychiatry center that averaged 320 admissions annually. Financial and resources shortages have curtailed its functions at 10% of its real capacity. Our report accounts the NPPC's early vision, and we also highlight the ongoing challenges faced by this institution.
