About Our Hospital
A Legacy of Compassionate Care
For over 20 years, we have been dedicated to providing exceptional psychiatric care to the people of Sulaiymaniyah and beyond — with empathy, integrity, and clinical excellence.
A Legacy of Healing
Shahid Doctor Hemn Psychiatric Hospital was founded with a simple yet profound vision: to create a sanctuary where individuals facing mental health challenges could find hope, healing, and dignity. Named in honor of Doctor Hemn, a pioneer in psychiatric care in the Kurdistan Region, our hospital continues his legacy of compassion and excellence.
From our headquarters on Qanat Street in Sulaiymaniyah, we have grown into a trusted institution, serving thousands of patients and their families. Our multidisciplinary team of psychiatrists, psychologists, therapists, and nurses work together to provide personalized, evidence-based care that addresses the unique needs of every individual.
We believe that mental health is not a luxury — it is a fundamental human right. That is why we are committed to making quality psychiatric care accessible, affordable, and stigma-free for everyone in our community.
The Legacy of Doctor Hemn
Doctor Hemn was a visionary psychiatrist who dedicated his life to transforming mental health care in the Kurdistan Region. At a time when psychiatric conditions were widely misunderstood and stigmatized, he championed a humane, patient-first approach that prioritized dignity and understanding over judgment.
His unwavering commitment to his patients, his pioneering research, and his deep empathy for those suffering from mental illness laid the foundation for the hospital that now bears his name. He believed that every person, regardless of their condition, deserved to be treated with respect and given the opportunity to heal.
Today, Shahid Doctor Hemn Psychiatric Hospital stands as a living monument to his vision. Every member of our team is guided by his principles — that compassion, science, and community are the cornerstones of true healing. We honor his memory by continuing his work, expanding access to care, and fighting the stigma that still surrounds mental health.
