Prof. Dr. Imran Ijaz Haider

As chairman of the organizing committee of the WPA’s Thematic congress on Public Mental Health and Associated Opportunities, it gives me great pleasure to invite you all today for our forthcoming Conference.

I am honored to welcome members of the mental health community, to move forward together in the pursuit of improving access and quality of public mental health care, and its allied fields.

The field of mental health care and its associated disciplines are more important now than ever before. In the wake of Covid-19 crisis, and an unprecedented population boom across the world, it has become clear that improving both the quality of mental health care and the access to it is essential in ensuring healthy, happy and productive communities. To this end, we have organized a conference which addresses these pertinent matters, with pre-eminent speakers from various disciplines across the mental healthcare spectrum.

I am certain that the variety of topics covered at this conference will be incredibly enriching for all attendees and lead to productive outcomes for the healthcare community.

I hope this conference will contribute to our practice in a fruitful way.
