A number of local frontline health care providers are to take part in a virtual training focused on mental health and psychosocial support.

The training is being facilitated through a collaboration between the Ministry of Health and the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO).

During the virtual launch of the session yesterday, Minister of Health Dr. Frank Anthony said the global COVID-19 pandemic has worsened the way that the health systems in the country handle mental health, which is essential for good health and wellbeing in today’s society.
