Department of Health Sciences helps improve mental health care in Malawi

Posted on 11 October 2012

The University of York is leading a vital international project to establish community-based mental health care in Malawi, one of the poorest countries in the world.

Thanks to funding awarded under the UK Government’s Health Partnership Scheme, village-based health workers in 20 health centres in the Zomba District in southern Malawi, as well as other primary care staff, will receive bespoke mental health care training.
