    National Center for Mental Health

    The National Center for Mental Health (NCMH) (Filipino: Pambansang Sentro ng Pangkaisipang
    Kalusugan), is a mental hospital in the city of Mandaluyong.

    History
    Formerly known as the Insular Psychopathic Hospital, the Mandaluyong Mental Hospital, and the
    National Mental Hospital,[1] was established on 17 December 1928. It was founded in order to
    accommodate the increasing number of mental patients and other patients with related nervous
    system conditions who, in 1925, were being taken cared of by two hospitals, namely the San Lazaro
    Hospital (in its "Insane Department") and the City Sanitarium in the Philippines. [2]
    The insane asylum hospital was built under Philippine Public Works Act No. 3258 at a 64 hectare
    location in Barrio Mauway, Mandaluyong, Rizal near the City of Manila. Patients from the San Lazaro
    Hospital were transferred to the National Center for Mental Health in 1928. Patients from the City
    Sanitarium were transferred in 1935. The National Center for Mental Health is currently under
    the Department of Health of the Philippines.
