Launch of WHO Mental Health Atlas 2024: global gaps and urgent needs for investment
The seventh edition of the WHO Mental Health Atlas offers the most comprehensive picture of mental health systems worldwide, drawing on data from 144 countries.
This edition reveals that mental health receives only 2% of health budgets globally, with critical shortages in the workforce. Despite progress in emergency preparedness and discrete progress in rights-based policies, major service gaps remain.
