World Mental Health Day Event – Mental Health as a Universal Right – 10 October 2023

Health is a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being. This holistic approach indicates a “right to a standard of living adequate for health and well-being”.  However despite evidence that there cannot be health without mental health, nowhere in the world allows mental health to enjoy parity with physical health in terms of budgeting, or medical education and practice.  Register for this event and hear experts share their thoughts on this topic.
