The SAKINA Schizophrenia Institute in Abu Dhabi is the first specialised centre in the region dedicated to the diagnosis, treatment, and rehabilitation of individuals living with schizophrenia and related psychotic disorders. Our mission is to provide world-class, compassionate care while advancing research and public awareness about one of the most complex mental health conditions.
Schizophrenia is a chronic mental health condition that affects how a person thinks, feels, and behaves. It may involve challenges such as hallucinations, delusions, disorganised thinking, or difficulties in daily functioning. At SAKINA, we emphasise that with the right support, people living with schizophrenia can lead fulfilling lives. Our Institute is built to provide patients and families with hope, dignity, and long-term solutions.
The Institute follows a holistic, patient-centred model that combines medical treatment, psychotherapy, rehabilitation, and family involvement. Care is delivered by a multidisciplinary team that includes psychiatrists, psychologists, occupational therapists, social workers, and psychiatric nurses.
Recovery does not end after discharge. Our Institute provides outpatient follow-ups, day programs, and community-based care to ensure continuity of treatment. This long-term support helps patients stay engaged, prevent relapses, and gradually rebuild their independence.
As part of PureHealth and SAKINA’s broader network, the Schizophrenia Institute is actively involved in advancing psychiatric research. We participate in clinical trials and international collaborations focused on understanding schizophrenia, testing innovative treatments, and developing new models of care. This ensures that our patients benefit from the latest scientific breakthroughs in psychiatry.
