The World Health Organization Assessment Instrument for Mental Health Systems (WHO-AIMS) was used to collect information on the mental health system in Lebanon.
This included assessment of the policy and legislative framework; mental health services; mental health in primary health care; human resources; public education and links with other sectors; and monitoring and research.
The goal of collecting this information is to enable policy makers to develop information-based mental health plans with clear base-line information and targets.
This assessment took place between February 2015 and July 2015, and data retrieved is based on the year 2014 and collected from facility, district/regional, and national levels.
