Contents 1 History 1.1 Controversy 2 See also 3 References 4 External links History Formerly known as the Insular Psychopathic Hospital, the Mandaluyong Mental Hospital, and the National Mental Hospital, was established on 17 December 1928. It was founded in order to accommodate the increasing number of mental patients and other patients with related nervous system conditions who, in 1925, were being taken cared of by two hospitals, namely the San Lazaro Hospital ( in its `` Insane Department '' ) and the City Sanitarium in the Philippines. The insane asylum hospital was built under Philippine Public Works Act No. 3258 at a 64 hectare location in Barrio Mauway, Mandaluyong, Rizal near the City of Manila. Patients from the San Lazaro Hospital were transferred to the National Center for Mental Health in 1928. Patients from the City Sanitarium were transferred in 1935. The National Center for Mental Health is currently under the Department of Health of the Philippines. With the increasing number of patients being admitted, the center has resorted to soliciting donations from private sectors. Controversy There was a controversy at the NCMH in 2012 because of the unexpected death of a patient named Randy Carreon. Carreon was confined in the hospital since 1998 due to paranoid schizoprenia attributed to drug abuse. The National Bureau of Investigation got involved, but the questioned remained whether the death was a medico - legal or homicide case.
