Launch of National Mental
Health Strategy 2024-2030

To enhance health care, research, and legislation

The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) has launched the National Mental Health Strategy (2024-2030) which aims to improve access to high-quality mental care, enhance the availability of data and research in this field, and create the required legal frameworks.

“The strategy serves as a roadmap, addressing all the building blocks of the mental health system and aligning with national priorities. It integrates evidence-based actions that focus on promoting and empowering individuals, capacity building, improving access to high-quality mental health care, including prevention of harmful practices, enhancing the availability of data and research, and establishing legal frameworks and policies,” said Abdinasir Abubakar, acting representative in Lebanon of the World Health Organization (WHO).

The strategy was launched by MoPH’s National Mental Health Program, in collaboration with WHO and with the support of the French Development Agency (AFD).

Minister of Public Health Firass Al Abiad said that MoPH will continue to collaborate with all stakeholders to implement the new strategy which was prepared over the past ten years.
