World Federation for Mental Health perspectives on person-centered medicine

چکیده
In 1992, WFMH founded World Mental Health Day and sets the theme sending out thousands of free packets of information. In the past the Federation placed a mental health employee in the World Bank and invited WHO and ILO to join with it to promote mental health in the workplace. Recently, the Federation has been concerned about the difficulty migrant consumers of mental health services have in crossing cultural barriers and has set up and promoted a transcultural centre and its first conference. Human rights have been a perennial concern.
