• This article describes the reasons why countries need to develop services for mental and substance use disorders. It also outlines key recommendations for the organization and delivery of services and discusses a number of key variables – resources, paradigm, value system, and environment – in terms of how they shape mental health services. Finally the article highlights the need to move from a biomedical model to a public health model and the role that training, mental health policy, and legislation can play in order to deliver high-quality services that respect human rights.
