Prof. Mohamed Janabi(@ProfJanabi):Across Africa, close to 150 million people live with mental health, neurological or substance use conditions, yet many still cannot access the care and support they need. For too long, people directly affected by these conditions have been invited to share their experiences but excluded from the decisions that follow. Listening must lead to participation. On this #WorldMentalHealthDay, I urge Member States to establish formal and sustained mechanisms for lived experience participation.
