We're saddened to report the passing of Dr Fred Kigozi, @primerpc #Uganda PI. We wish his colleagues at @MakerereU and his loved ones peace and healing during this very difficult time. Dr Kigozi was an unwavering champion for #mentalhealth in #Africa and he will be sorely missed.

Lund: we found that people with mental health problems tend to end up poorer. We need to understand and study financing models for mental health care. Investment cases are important #RoadtoGlobalMH

When it comes to coverage, there was an increased service utilisation across countries, varied impact on pop coverage for depression and alcohol use, high coverage for psychosis and epilepsy esp in Ethiopia and Nepal.

“Prof Vikram Patel from the @LSHTM and the rest of the team got everyone around a table to discuss the aims of the project and the form it would take [...] This included the health ministries in all five countries. [...] we asked, ‘How can this be useful?" news.uct.ac.za/article/-2019…

Lund: for @primerpc #mentalhealth development training alone doesnt work; need ongoing supervision and need to develop services that respond to local demands #ENMESH2019 (2/2)

Crick Lunds notes crucial to success in implementation of @primerpc was development of strong iterative dialogue with local stakeholder #ENMESH2019
