WHO Special Initiative for Mental Health Phase 2 (SIMH-2): Transforming services for people with mental, neurological and substance use (MNS) conditions as part of universal health coverage (UHC)

Overview

The SIMH-2 brochure presents the next phase of WHO’s Special Initiative for Mental Health, which extends the programme to 2028 and aligns it with WHO’s 14th General Programme of Work. It outlines how WHO and country partners will build on the first phase to further expand access to quality, rights-based mental health services, shares key results from participating countries, and highlights opportunities for new countries and stakeholders to engage with the Initiative.
