In June 2025, faculty members of the Department of Physiology and Pathophysiology took part in a training for trainers and supervisors under the mhGAP (Mental Health Gap Action Programme), organized with the aim of improving the quality of psychiatric and psychosocial care at the primary healthcare level. The event was conducted by representatives of the “Doctors of the World – Greece” organization.
mhGAP is a global initiative of the World Health Organization aimed at bridging the gaps in mental health care, particularly in low-resource settings. The training covered topics related to the diagnosis, treatment, and management of the most common mental, neurological, and substance use disorders.
The participation of the department’s faculty in this training represents an important step in implementing modern approaches to mental health care in both educational and clinical practice. The acquired knowledge and skills will enhance the training of students and healthcare professionals and support the broader implementation of mhGAP tools within Ukraine’s healthcare system.
The department expresses its gratitude to the event organizers for the opportunity to contribute to building a sustainable mental health approach and strengthening the support system at all levels of healthcare.
