BTC handed over the revamped Jubilee Psychiatric Unit to Nyangabgwe Hospital in Francistown. The project was undertaken through the BTC Employee Social Responsibility Movement (BTC-ESR) based in the Northern region. The newly renovated Jubilee Psychiatric Ward costed a total amount of P179,900 and will enhance the environment as well as the quality of care for both patients and staff members. This unit stands as a symbol of the collective effort and dedication displayed by the BTC talented staff members, who have selflessly invested their time and passion to enhance the welfare of our community. The Jubilee Psychiatric Unit features dedicated male and female wards, each designed to accommodate ten patients.
Mental health conditions are some of the five main non communicable diseases (NCDs) that affect a huge number of our people. It is a profound necessity to create a secure environment for healing, one that offers both sanctuary and safety. BTC`s leadership, determination, and dedication to improving mental health services within the community have not gone unnoticed.
The healthcare sector is a significant part of nation`s communities and BTC believe it is collective responsibility to support these institutions and individuals who work tirelessly to provide care, comfort, and hope to those in need of medical attention. The refurbishment of Jubilee Psychiatric Unit covered replacement and painting of the ceiling, external and internal painting works, replacement of broken windowpanes, removal and replacement of floor and wall tiles, plumbing works in all ward bathrooms, partitioning of bathrooms and installation of rainwater gutters and down pipe.
