Résumé :

Every health care system requires an adequate health care workforce, service delivery, financial support, and informa- tion technology. During the COVID-19 pandemic, global health systems were ill prepared to address the rising preva- lence of mental health problems, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), thereby increasing treat- ment gaps. To close these gaps globally, task shifting andtelepsychiatry should be made available and maximized, partic- ularly in LMICs. Task shifting to nonspecialist health workers to improve essential mental health coverage and encourage effi- cient use of the available resources and technology has become the most viable strategy.
