Context

The University Service of Psychiatry of Advanced Age (SUPAA) is a specialised service with the mission to guarantee care, teaching and research in the field of psychiatry for the elderly.

The Department of Psychiatry consists of 10 services addressing the three stages of life. It covers the psychiatric sectors Centre, West and North of the canton.
