Description
Following the endorsement of the National Mental Health Policy (NMHP) of the Maldives in 2014, the Ministry of Health of the Maldives took the initiative of developing an NMHSP (2016 - 2021), with the support of WHO and SEARO in October 2015. The NMHSP was developed with input from two group stakeholder meetings, in addition to a number of individual meetings with various stakeholders. The three strategic action areas of this plan include; creating a robust leadership and governance structure for mental health, integration of mental health services with the existing healthcare system through a community-based approach with a strong referral system, and establishing multi-sectoral collaboration for promotion, prevention, and management of mental disorders.Content
