Focus on Mental Health, Transcultural Congress in Tanzania
/in Congress, Event, News, WPA-TPS /by WPA-TPSNovember 1 – 13
The aim of this scientific congress is to share knowledge and experience between local mental health workers and their foreign guests.
It will take place on November 5th and 6th 2013 in Lusotho, Northern Tanzania. Participants will come from Tanzania, the Netherlands, United Kingdom and African countries. At the end of the conference participants will have a thorough understanding of how health care in general, and mental health care in particular, is organized in Tanzania.
They will have acquired an insight in health-seeking behaviour of the people making use of these services. This understanding is important for doctors working with migrants in Western countries and will give African participants the opportunity to compare mental health care in their respective countries.
By organizing this meeting in Tanzania we bring participants to an environment where learning is experience and experiencing enhances knowledge. Intercultural exchange between delegates is an important aspect of this meeting.
