Quality of Care Issues for Mental Health and Neurological Disorders in Sub-Saharan Africa: A Workshop


Tuesday, August 4, 2009

Workshop Agenda


Sheraton Kampala Hotel, Ballroom

Ternan Avenue

Kampala, Uganda


Background of the Workshop:

Neurological and mental health disorders are among the leading causes of global morbidity. More than 450 million people around the world are affected, and they account for 33 percent of years lived with disability and 13 percent of disability-adjusted life years lost. Recognizing both the importance of high-quality care for brain disorders and the economic limitation of most sub-Saharan African countries in diagnosing and treating these disorders, the workshop will explore areas where policies might improve care for mental health and neurological disorders for countries in this region. The Forum on Health and Nutrition of the Uganda National Academy of Sciences (UNA S) and the Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous System Disorders of the U.S. Institute of Medicine (IOM) will convene a joint workshop to address these issues.

Audience:

Policy makers from countries in sub-Saharan Africa, academia, clinicians (rural and urban practice), international stakeholders, local parishioners, and rising leaders in the area of brain disorders.


Workshop Objectives:

  • Discuss opportunities that can be used to better ensure continuity of care and sustainability within a country’s healthcare system.

  • Identify resources that are currently available or could be made available, in cost-effective and efficient manners, to aid in implementation of treatments and prevention projects.

  • Emphasize the need for national, evidence-based policies addressing quality of care and healthcare systems for mental and neurological disorders. Discuss how to facilitate collaborations among a variety of stakeholders, including policy makers and healthcare professionals.

Millions of people in sub-Saharan Africa suffer from mental, neurological, and substance use (MNS) disorders, and most do not have the resources to obtain treatment. The Uganda National Academy of Sciences and the Institute of Medicine hosted a workshop to discuss the state of care for MNS disorders in sub-Saharan Africa.
