          SUMMARY

          Delivery of mental care in developing countries has been awfully inadequate. General hospital psychiatric units can play a significant role in providing care to the mentally ill as well as in training aspects of the health professionals. The problems of mental illness are practically same all over as has been highlighted in the paper which discusses the functioning and diagnostic and demographic data of such a unit in Ethiopia. The paper also compares the diagnostic data with that of an Indian and a British study.
