M-CARE’s first steering committee meeting targets chronic and mental health care integration in Ghana

The M-CARE project is a five-year initiative focused on improving healthcare for people with multiple chronic conditions and mental health challenges in Sub-Saharan Africa. The project is being implemented in Ghana, Kenya, and Uganda, adapting WHO’s evidence-based guidelines to deliver integrated, patient-centred care at the primary health level. M-CARE aims to shift healthcare from fragmented, disease-specific treatment toward an integrated, person-centred approach. Funded by the European Union Horizon and implemented by partners including Amsterdam UMC, the African Population and Health Research Center (APHRC), the University of Ghana, Lira University, the University of Copenhagen, the London School of Economics and Political Science, and Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, the project aligns with WHO’s PEN (Package of Essential NCD Interventions) and mhGAP-IG (Mental Health Gap Action Program) guidelines to empower frontline health workers in low-resource settings.
