One of the largest treatment gaps for mental, neurological, and
substance use (MNS) disorders in the world can be seen in
Sub-Saharan Africa (SSA). According to the World Health
Organization (WHO), about 80% of people with serious MNS disorders
living in low- and middle-income countries do not receive needed
health services. A critical barrier to bridge this treatment gap is
the ability to provide adequate human resources for the delivery of
essential interventions for MNS disorders. An international
workshop was convened in 2009, by the .S. Institute of Medicine
(IOM) Forum on Neuroscience and Nervous Systems Disorders and the
Uganda National Academy of Sciences (UNAS) Forum on Health and
Nutrition, to bring together stakeholders from across SSA and to
foster discussions about improving care for people suffering from
MNS disorders and what steps, with potential for the greatest
impact, might be considered to bridge the treatment gap. Due to the
broad interest to further examine the treatment gap, the IOM forum
organized a second workshop in Kampala, Uganda on September 4 and
5, 2012. The workshop\'s purpose was to discuss candidate core
competencies that providers might need to help ensure the effective
delivery of services for MNS disorders. The workshop focused
specifically on depression, psychosis, epilepsy, and alcohol use
disorders. Strengthening Human Resources Through Development of
Candidate Core Competencies for Mental, Neurological, and Substance
Use Disorders in Sub-Saharan Africa: Workshop Summary outlines the
presentations and discussions by expert panelists and participants
of the plenary sessions of the workshop. This summary includes an
overview of challenges faced by MNS providers in the SSA,
perspectives on the next steps, the 2009 workshop, and more. Table
