At a Regional meeting of Members and Fellows of the Royal College of Psychiatrists, held in Cairo in April 1994, a strong initiative to promote Abbasiah Psychiatric Hospital as a teaching centre was put forward. The President, Registrar and Dean made a preliminary visit to the hospital and met with Dr S. Al-Kott, the Medical Director, and agreed to offer assistance on behalf of the Royal College of Psychiatrists. It was anticipated that Abbasiah would benefit through improved recruitment into medical and nursing posts, and by the injection of renewed interest in its large patient population.
