Physical And meNtal Health Network

History

The PAN-Health Network was established in 2021 to tackle the critical intersection of physical and mental health, recognising the significant physical comorbidity rate between individuals with severe mental disorders and the general population.

We are synthesizing evidence on the gap in health between those vs without mental disorders, and building recommendations to fill such gaps.
