"CONDEMNED - Mental health in African countries in crisis"

This Government run facility in the Niger Delta town of Eket is meant to be a Psychiatric hospital. In reality it is a merely a place of incarceration for people with mental disability. The oil industry that has brought billions of dollars into the Nigerian economy has arguably been a disaster for the Delta region from where it is extracted. Corruption, mass inequality and violence have plagued the region ever since the discovery of the resource. The Niger Delta, Nigeria. October 2012. Photo Robin Hammond/Panos
