Excellent news from the government! Through Ministerial Resolution MINSA/356-2018, the “National Plan for Strengthening Community Mental Health Services 2018–2021” was officially approved. This plan will progressively expand public access to mental health promotion, prevention, treatment, psychosocial rehabilitation, and recovery services through a community-based approach that promotes social inclusion. These services will be integrated into the national health service network, beginning with primary healthcare facilities.

At De-mentes, we celebrate this major milestone, which reflects the government’s commitment to continuing the transition toward a more inclusive model of mental healthcare, moving away from isolating people with mental health conditions and instead focusing on their social reintegration.
