King Charles's Charity Partners With Halal Food Supplier to Expand Mental Health Support in Pakistan
The initiative aims to address a large treatment gap, with an estimated 90% of Pakistanis needing mental health care unable to access it.
A charity founded by Britain's King Charles III has partnered with a halal food supplier to help expand mental health support in Pakistan, the Associated Press of Pakistan reported.
An estimated 50 million people in Pakistan experience mental health issues, and roughly one in four people in the country will be affected at some point in their lifetime, according to the report.
Despite the scale of the need, around 90 percent of those requiring treatment are currently unable to access appropriate support, the report said.
Further details on the scope of the new partnership, including specific programs or funding involved, were not included in the available report.
