GOLD STANDARD in understanding and managing Psychological Cases
WHO defines Collaboration when multiple health workers provide comprehensive services by working together synerg istically ( Ness, O., Karlsson, B., Borg, M., Biong, S., Sundet, R., McCormack, B., & Kim, H. S. (2014). Towards a model for collaborative practice in community mental health care . Scandinavian Psychologist, 1, e6. http://dx.doi.org/10.15714/scandpsychol.1.e6)
working together synergistically along with patients, their families, care-givers and communities
working together synergistically to deliver the highest quality of care across settings
HEALTHY ASIA PACIFIC 2020 presented by DOH in the 2015 APEC held in this venue Launching of a “digital hub” that would support COLLABORATIVE WORK between governments, the academe and private sector in addressing mental health issues.
