Mental health atlas 2024

Overview

WHO’s Mental Health Atlas is a periodic survey and report of countries’ mental health policies and programmes, laws, information systems, financing, workforce and services. The 2024 edition, the seventh in a series that started in 2001, draws on data from 144 countries and includes several new indicators on service delivery including telehealth and physical health, community-based care, and data monitoring. This latest report provides an overview of global mental health systems and services, tracks progress towards the targets of WHO’s Comprehensive Mental Health Action Plan 2013–2030, and identifies key gaps in mental health service development across the world.
