Bukhman Philanthropies & United for Global Mental Health
Why Bukhman Philanthropies is Partnering with United for Global Mental Health
United for Global Mental Health and Bukhman Philanthropies are partnering to advocate for better mental health support for women during and after pregnancy.
Perinatal depression, anxiety, and other maternal mental health conditions affect up to 1 in 5 women globally.
Every mother deserves to survive and thrive. Yet, maternal mental health remains a neglected dimension of maternal and neonatal health in many low- and middle-income countries. This has consequences not only for mothers but also for infants’ survival, growth, and development.
We are working to change this because we believe Maternal Mental Health is a Right, Not a Privilege.
Areas of Focus for the Donation
With the support of Bukhman Philanthropies, which is donating £500,000 over three years, United for Global Mental Health is deepening and expanding our advocacy work on maternal mental health. We are working in close partnership with national governments and CSOs to improve and scale mental health care for mothers where it’s most urgently needed.
Together we are calling for:
● Integration of mental health into existing maternal and child health services
● Access for all women, during pregnancy and after birth, to a primary and community care health professional trained in mental health care.
● Prioritising funding for essential maternal and child health services that include maternal mental health care.
