In this presentation, I explored the mental health landscape in Zimbabwe, its challenges, emerging opportunities, and the vital role pharmacists can play in bridging the treatment gap.

Highlights from the session:
-Understanding the growing mental health burden in Zimbabwe and Africa
-Using the WHO 4x4 Framework to improve access, affordability, and appropriate medicine use
-Collaborative practice models and pharmacist-led interventions that enhance continuity of care
-Innovative solutions: Drug Revolving Funds, task shifting, and telepharmacy for rural access
