WHO MiNDbank: More Inclusiveness Needed in Disability and Development

A database of resources covering mental health, substance abuse, disability, general health, human rights and development

General Health Policies

This section contains general health policies of countries. This includes policies that cover health generally, but not policies on a specific disease, disorder or vulnerable groups.  The exception to this is that this section does include broad Non Communicable Disease policies (ie. we do include broad NCD policies covering many areas, but do not include policies which focus on one specific NCD area).
