Lauding the recently unveiled mental health policy, President Pranab Mukherjee on Tuesday said that while formulating policy, government must always take care to ensure that due priority is given to human resource development in the field of mental health care and delivery.
“Today, there is an increasing realisation all over the world that there can be no health without mental health. Our country’s first comprehensive mental health policy was notified only as recently as last October on the occasion of World Mental Health Day,” Mukherjee said.
