State of Mental Health in South Africa

World Mental Health Day was observed this Saturday on the 10th of October. The main aim of this day is to raise awareness on the different mental health issues facing people all over the globe, including South Africa. The Covid-19 pandemic not only had negative effects on our mental health, it was also made a priority within healthcare services. This meant that mental health services were paused to make room for Covid-19 but with our numbers dropping and life slowly but surely returning to normal, mental health services are being reintegrated back into the system. This morning special guest Minister of Health in the Western Cape, Dr. Nomafrench Mbombo joins us to tell us more.
