Mental health in Africa

Abstract

On the “About the journal” page of its website, The Lancet Global Health explains that its focus is on “disadvantaged populations, be they whole economic regions or marginalised groups within otherwise prosperous nations”. The journal has, to a large extent, lived up to this pledge in its 5 years of existence—by May, 2018, it had published 637 papers that referenced the world's most economically disadvantaged region, Africa.
