Dear HIFA colleagues and friends,
Maternal mental health considerations are globally becoming part of public health considerations. With 1 out of 5 women likely to develop a mental health condition during pregnancy, women and pregnant mothers in Africa are exposed to several risk factors that could affect their mental health even the more.
The International Conference on Maternal Mental Health in Africa is going to be held from the 3rd-5th December gathering participants from the Africa and the world to discuss about the future of maternal mental health in Africa.
