Abstract

The stated goal of the reform is to transfer the focus of mental health resources from psychiatric hospitals to the community. The editorial dwells at length on numerical aspects of the hospitalization shrinkage, but glosses over failures to shift resources to suffocated community clinics, and other severe shortages of the national health policy management.
