In Africa, approximately 100 million people suffer from depression. For African women, depression is the number one cause of disability. Yet, 85% percent of people suffering from depression in Africa – including 66 million women – have no access to effective treatment.
The urgency to derive and test new interventions to increase the early detection and treatment of depression is accentuated by the fact that they often remain undiagnosed, misdiagnosed or untreated often due to the stigma associated with mental health diseases in Uganda. Inadequate attention to mental health in the public sector has resulted in a meager estimated ratio of 2-3 psychiatrists per million people. Less than 5% of the national budget is spent on health care, with the amount allocated for mental health being less than 2% of the total budget. Approximately 72% of total health expenditure is funded privately, of which 92% are out-of-pocket expenses.
Dromedic works to increase Access to Integrated Mental Health Care through A Community-Based Approach, Utilizing mHealth. We integrate a community based program that improves mental health outcomes for patients through 1) positive, supportive SMS messages and 2) the triage of patients for treatment provided by trained community mental health workers.
