On Thursday, over 1200 colleagues from over 109 countries meet for Session 1 of ‘From policy to practice: an introduction to perinatal mental health in East and Southern Africa and other LMICs.’
We will cover the burden and impact, the social determinants, human rights, evidence for impact and the economic case: the foundation for four practical sessions on integration, screening and referral, interventions and workforce, and scale.
We will also ask participants what they want from the series. Their answers will shape what follows.

The hard part wasn't the building, it was the Ministry endorsement and the scope of practice.
