Abstract

In this second editorial for the International Health supplement on mental health, stigma and neglected tropical diseases (NTDs), we reflect on how we can capitalise on the positive shift toward global normative frameworks of person-centred care, highlighted by Eaton in this supplement,1 to shape positive change for persons affected by NTDs. The World Health Organization (WHO) presents five interdependent strategic directions that can support shaping the development of integrated people-centred health systems: empowering and engaging people, strengthening governance and accountability, reorienting models of care, co-ordinating services and creating an enabling environment.2 These strategic directions are designed to generate a set of actions that can support transforming health systems to enable service delivery that is both integrated and people-centred. Here we consider each of these strategic areas in relation to the articles within this supplement, which we hope will enable a collective journey that is guided by the needs and values of the persons affected and that promote positive mental well-being for all.
