The Federal Neuro Psychiatric Hospital Yaba (FNPHY) is thrilled to announce a groundbreaking commercial agreement signed with EMGE Resources, marking a significant leap forward in advancing mental healthcare services across Nigeria.

Formalized on 8th April, 2024, this partnership signifies a joint commitment to innovation and patient-centric care within the mental health sector. EMGE Resources, a renowned leader in cutting-edge healthcare solutions, brings a wealth of expertise in technology integration and resource optimization to the table, making them the ideal partner for this transformative endeavor.

Through this collaboration, FNPHY aims to harness EMGE Resources’ advanced technologies and strategic insights to streamline operations, elevate patient experiences, and ultimately, enhance treatment outcomes.

A key component of this initiative involves the provision of Johnson and Johnson’s Innovative Medicines Neuroscience portfolio to FNPHY at a highly discounted rate, facilitated by the expertise and resources of EMGE Resources.
