Unfortunately, in Africa, mental health care had not received the attention it deserved. For instance, millions of people needing care do not have access to services.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAround 11 out of every 100,000 people die by suicide every year, which is above the global average of nine per 100,000 people.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is important to highlight that this situation is partly due to adequate action by the government, policymakers, and communities to address the risk factors that contribute to death by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.withinnigeria.com\/news\/2022\/09\/16\/niger-mechanic-commits-suicide-after-girlfriend-conceives-for-another-man\/\">suicide<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The public health specialist decried the underinvestment by governments in mental health care.<\/p>\n<p>He said governments allocate less than 50 US cents per capita to mental health, on average.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt\u2019s important to note that mental health care is generally not included in National Health Care Schemes.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere are grossly inadequate mental health professionals.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs an example, for every 500,000 people in the African region, there is one psychiatrist. This is 100 times less than what the WHO recommends.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cTo raise awareness about the gravity of suicide and step up advocacy about prevention, we are today launching a social media campaign to reach 10 million people across the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe want to galvanise the support of the government and policymakers to increase focus and funding for mental health programming, including suicide prevention efforts.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe believe that the campaign will educate the people on the steps to take against suicide.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSuicide is a major public health problem but a silent epidemic in all regions where much of the public health focus is on infections, disease, and outbreaks. It\u2019s time for a radical change.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFar too many people who need help for mental health conditions and to prevent suicide do not receive it. These include Ebola survivors; we need psychosocial support in every journey to full recovery,\u201d Cabore said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The World Health Organisation has disclosed that there is one psychiatrist per 500,000 people in the African religion.
