Health and Wellbeing Screening System launched on World Mental Health Day

Coinciding with World Mental Health Day on October 10, the Health and Wellbeing Screening System was launched marking a significant step forward in mental health care. This web-based platform is designed to facilitate the early identification of mental health conditions, support mobilisation, provide service referrals and ensure aftercare interventions. The initiative represents a significant milestone in promoting proactive mental health prevention and evidence-based interventions across the country.

The system launched by The PEMA is a collaborative effort with unwavering support from the Ministry of Health, Ministry of Education and Skills Development, UNICEF, WHO and other relevant agencies.
