Organisation Visits


Institute of Mental Health welcomes you to visit the park where it’s at – Buangkok Green Medical Park.
Located on a sprawling 25-hectare campus in Buangkok View that is large enough to build a 1.6km jogging track around it, this place is open to the public 24 hours a day.

At IMH, we share the common desire of ensuring a safe and successful recovery of our patients as quickly and completely as possible. The purpose of this programme is to allow you to:
  • Get a glimpse of institutional and patient life
  • Debunk myths about the mentally-ill
  • Better understand the plight of our patients
  • Be introduced to our facilities
  • Learn about common mental conditions
  • Enhance corporate social responsibility
  • Embark on a historic journey through IMH
Depending on your objectives, we can tailor a programme to best meet them.
