    Open AccessAgnes Gatome-Munyua, Susan P Sparkes et al.ARTICLEBMJ Global Health2025

    Despite primary healthcare (PHC) being recognised in global declarations—Alma Ata in 1978 and Astana in 2018—and prioritised in national health strategies, chronic under-resourcing of PHC persists in most low-income and middle-income countries.

    The need to move mental health systems toward more recovery-oriented treatment modes is well established. Progress has been made to define needed changes but evidence is lacking about the resources required to implement them. The Mental Health Services Act (MHSA) in California was designed to implement more recovery-oriented treatment modes. We use data from county funding requests and annual updates to examine how counties budgeted for recovery-…

Although effective primary health care is necessary to manage cardiovascular disease and reduce acute episodes and mortality, the primary health care system is under-utilized by adult males …
