Mental healthcare

The launch of a local community-based mental healthcare initiative in Karachi has been a source of sorely needed good news from the city. The project, appropriately titled "Shamil" (inclusive), will initially start its operation in Korangi, and focus on providing information on mental healthcare via lady health workers, who will move from door to door and identify patients in middle and lower income communities.
