- Perform in-depth examinations to evaluate the neuropsychiatric and mental health status of persons with disabilities;
- Provide specific intervention prescriptions and set individualized intervention goals;
- Discuss and agree among doctors, nurses, persons with disabilities, and caregivers on how to implement the interventions for optimal outcomes.
📊 Results
- Nam Hai Lang Commune (Quang Tri): 50 persons with disabilities received intervention case openings and related services.
- Dan Dien Commune (Hue): 51 persons with disabilities received intervention case openings and related services.
👉 A total of 101 persons with disabilities were provided with access to specialized neuropsychiatric care services during this activity.
