    We read a lot about international support that is going into Ukraine to restore broken health systems including the provision of mental health services. It would be ideal to learn about the social groups that are most affected by the war and the differentiated model of mental services that is being provided. The analysis can be conducted in all countries where there are conflicts to help the development of a standard package of interventions that can be adapted to suit specific situations.

    The shocking news from Malawi is that the High Court ruled against LGBTQ two days ago. This means that LGBTQ will remain illegal in Malawi. We are yet to see how the LGBTQ community and stakeholders will react to the ruling. As health professionals, we are concerned that the ruling will further limit access to essential health services. Any piece of advice and lessons from the Forum will be appreciated.

Unless partners support it, it is unlikely that the Government of Malawi would intervene positively. However, we saw how an empowered health workforce, CSOs and partners successfully campaigned for the repeal of the abortion law.  More ...
