Speaking in Lusaka during the unveiling of the new Mental Health Council Board yesterday, Dr Muchima emphasized the importance of addressing mental health in Zambia. “The Doctor here, Dr Kennedy Lishimpi, was telling me that when a person is too brilliant, there is a thin line with mental patience, so if you are too brilliant, know that you are closer to mental disorder,” Dr Muchima said. “Through unity and collaboration, we can achieve our goal of improving mental health care in Zambia,” he said. Meanwhile, Sylvester Katontoka was appointed chairperson of the Mental Health Council Board, established under the Mental Health Act No. Dr Muchima explained that the board is responsible for reviewing policies, overseeing the implementation of mental health strategies, approving annual budgets and plans, and monitoring the performance of the National Mental Health Council.
