National Mental Health Strategy of Ethiopia

A critical milestone for Ethiopia's mental health care sector, the National Mental Health Strategy serves to provide accessible, affordable, and acceptable care for all Ethiopians. The Strategy was developed with extensive input from a wide range of stakeholders. As a result, it is specifically workable in the Ethiopian setting and has the support of those who will play a critical part in its implementation.

The Strategy builds on the existing momentum for improving Ethiopian mental health care and sets out a clear and evidence-based plan for scale up.
