President His Excellency Dr Mohamed Muizzu has stated that mental health accounts for half of sound health.

The President made the reflective statement on his official ‘X’ account, highlighting the essential role mental health plays in fostering creativity, diligence, and productive, results-oriented behaviour. He called for greater focus on mental well-being, urging everyone to prioritise it.

World Mental Health Day aims to raise global awareness of mental health issues and mobilise efforts to support those affected. This year’s theme, “Mental Health at Work,” focuses on the significance of mental health in professional environments.
