Launch of WHO MiNDbank Database

The WHO MiNDbank Database serves as a comprehensive resource aimed at addressing mental health issues and human rights violations faced by individuals with mental health conditions. This initiative is part of the WHO's QualityRights program, which focuses on promoting and protecting the rights of people with mental health conditions globally. The MiNDbank provides a wealth of information, including policies, strategies, laws, and service standards from various countries, thereby facilitating a better understanding of how different nations approach mental health care and human rights. It also includes significant international documents that contribute to the discourse on mental health and human rights, making it a vital tool for researchers, policymakers, and advocates in the field. The database allows users to access and review the health information of WHO member states and other partners, enabling them to search for best practices and success stories in mental health care. By providing a platform for sharing knowledge and experiences, the MiNDbank aims to foster collaboration and innovation in mental health policies and practices. The initiative underscores the importance of integrating human rights considerations into mental health care, thereby promoting a more inclusive and equitable approach to mental health services worldwide. The MiNDbank is expected to have a lasting impact on how mental health issues are addressed, ensuring that the rights of individuals with mental health conditions are recognized and upheld across different regions.
