MDD Minds Closing Event – Live Stream

We invite you to join the MDD Minds Closing Event, live from Brussels. This event marks the culmination of one of WONCA’s most ambitious projects to date: strengthening the role of primary care in the management of major depressive disorder (MDD).

The event will present the outcomes of the project, launch the final report and website, and host discussions on how to sustain and expand mental health capacity-building in primary care worldwide.
