A recent situational analysis conducted in Kashmir indicated that there was a centralized mental health care system in place, marked by poor treatment standards, lack of mental health drugs and lack of knowledge in health professionals to appropriately diagnosis mental health problems. I have been Associated with an Innovative mhGAP project which has been initiated, designed, and implemented by myself and was submitted as an innovative project. The work done in this project so far with support from Kashmir Government, WHO Geneva and Royal College of Psychiatry has been coordinated, implementation and evaluation phase done by me.
This innovation seeks to use the World Health Organization's mhGAP framework to train health professionals from diverse specialties to reduce the treatment gap found in Kashmir and eventually decentralize the current mental health system. Source: mhinnovation
