Tóm tắt :

Mental health is among the key health system priorities for the Government of the Republic of North Macedonia and the focus of a specific national strategy (2018–2025) aiming to modernize and expand services across the country, including for children and adolescents. Among this population group, different societal issues – including economic deprivation, stigma around mental health conditions, and fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic – have combined to increase the prevalence of mental health conditions and behavioural disorders. In conjunction with this, systemic health system constraints – such as insufficient health human resources, lack of funding, limited scope of practice in primary health care, and infrastructure shortcomings – hinder access to care. As the country moves toward universal health coverage, mental health for children and adolescents warrants specific, strategic policies that engage different sectors and partners, integrate service planning into ongoing processes (for example, through primary health care reform and the establishment of community mental health centres), and build workforce and infrastructure capacities to meet population needs. This report maps the current mental health services and support in North Macedonia, detailing the human and physical resources available in primary, secondary and tertiary care settings across the country, along with the main priorities for the future development of this field. vii, 39 p.
