Pakistan Global Mental Health Summit continues focus on accessible care
Experts gathered in Islamabad from October 1 to 2 for Pakistan's Global Mental Health Summit to discuss improving services and prevention.
Participants discuss service access
Delegates from Geneva, Cairo and Pakistan met on Friday to strengthen mental health support. Experts shared successful approaches while addressing the shortage of trained professionals in the country.
Policy launch sets new goals
The event follows the release of the National Mental Health Policy for 2026-2035. Officials aim to expand support for an estimated 32.4 million people who currently lack care.
Current treatment gap remains wide
Estimates presented at the gathering show only five percent of the population has access to services. This low percentage leaves a substantial number of individuals without necessary treatment options.
