Abstract

This paper discusses the provision of mental health services in lower- and middle-income countries (LAMIC) with a view to identifying culture-specific areas that can be improved and generalised within and across different countries and services. The paper highlights the need for prioritisation of mental health services by incorporating local population and cultural needs. This can be achieved only through political will and strengthened legislation, improved resource allocation and strategic organisation, integrated packages of care underpinned by professional communication and training, and involvement of patients, informal carers and the wider community in a therapeutic capacity.
