LONDON—The new Centre For Global Mental Health has been inaugurated at a meeting in London. It’s been formed through a partnership between two academic institutions: The London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine and King’s Health Partners—a consortium of top London teaching hospitals and King’s College, London. It focuses on improving the treatment and prevention of mental illness world-wide, but with a particular priority on low and middle income countries. The co-directors, Vikram Patel of the London School and Martin Prince from The Institute of Psychiatry, together with Benedetto Saraceno, Director of the Department of Mental Health and Substance Abuse at the World Health Organisation and Pamela Collins of the US National Institute of Mental Health discuss the issues being addressed by this new research organisation.
