The World Health Organization (WHO) and the Libyan Ministry of Health of the Government of National Unity (GNU) have announced the approval of the National Mental Health Strategy 2024-2030.

This decision follows a two-day workshop held in Misrata, bringing together mental health experts from various parts of Libya with their counterparts from the World Health Organization.

According to a statement released by the World Health Organization, the adopted strategy aims to address urgent challenges in the field of mental health in Libya by focusing on enhancing prevention, early detection, treatment, and careful monitoring of mental illnesses.

Moreover, the strategy seeks to establish a comprehensive and integrated healthcare system to ensure that all citizens have access to high-quality mental health services, psychological support, and social care, as per the organization’s guidelines.

Furthermore, the strategy includes a set of vital initiatives, such as establishing a National Mental Health Committee, providing trained workforce in all specialties, and engaging various sectors and stakeholders in efforts to improve mental health.

Ahmed Zouiten, the World Health Organization’s representative in Libya, praised the approval of the strategy, affirming that it represents a crucial step towards prioritizing mental health in Libya.

Zouiten added, “This strategy underscores the organization’s commitment to building a resilient and healthy society that recognizes mental health as a universal human right.”

On his part, Deputy Minister of Health Saad Aldin Abdelwakil expressed his appreciation for the fruitful cooperation between national experts and the World Health Organization in developing the strategy. He affirmed that it would enable the ministry to build capacities and reduce gaps in mental health services across the country.

“I am extremely proud to participate in the launch of Libya’s national mental health strategy alongside the Ministry of Health and with the participation of mental health experts from all over Libya,” Zouiten said last week.
