Mental Health: A Priority

A Reflection by Public Health Leadership Coalition’s Advocate – Prof. Maria Rosaria Gualano

Public Mental Health should be a priority of the public health agenda worldwide, both for healthcare workers, deeply impacted by the pandemic, and for everyone. Systemic changes are urgently needed, especially in low and middle-income countries.

A paper published on “Frontiers in Public Health” highlighted the factors influencing mental health of healthcare professionals and calls for efforts to develop healthcare services in a framework of Workplace Culture and Leadership.
