Mental health in the developing countries of the Asia Pacific Region

While the most affluent countries in the region enjoy very advanced systems of health care based on national health care insurance,  large parts of less affluent developing nations have only the very basic of health care available to their people.

Mental health is the one area of health that stands out clearly as needing urgent reform in almost all countries in the region.
