Riina Sikkut
Minister of Health
Republic of Estonia
The Ministry of Health of Argentina has the honor to invite you to participate as a speaker in
the High-Level Ministerial Session of the 5th Global Mental Health Summit (GMHS)
“Mental Health in All Policies”, which will be held on October 5 and 6, 2023, in Centro
Cultural Néstor Kirchner (CCK), Buenos Aires (Argentina).
“Mental Health in All Policies” represents bringing together all government areas, as well as
civil society, into a dialogue for the purpose of agreeing on and designing public policies that
are responsive to the multiple and complex needs of the population regarding mental health,
based on the paradigm of community mental health and on the understanding that mental
health is a relevant topic for everyone.
The GMHS 2023 will be an in-person event, and will gather Ministers of Health from all over
the world, national, regional and international mental health experts, and representatives
from patients’ associations and civil society organizations, who will convey their perspectives
in the plenary sessions and thematic workshops.
This will be the first Summit held in the Region of the Americas, and aims to scale up
community mental health interventions in all policies, to include mental health and
psychosocial support services in national mandates and budgets, to implement actions
focused on the key role of the social determinants of mental health, and to strengthen
measures that promote access to the health system within the transformation process from
institutional to community-based models.
Please find the registration form for the event here (registration code: iP0x3/zY+n7). I kindly
ask you to confirm your participation before August 15, 2023.
Participants are kindly asked to cover their own travel and accommodation expenses. In case
you require financial assistance, do not hesitate to contact us.
Please extend this invitation to a mental health technical expert to participate.
In addition, should you consider it relevant, I kindly ask you to submit a poster document
about one national experience on mental health policies that you would like to highlight, with
the following technical specifications: a 170-word document in English (.doc), your ministry’s
high-resolution logo (PNG), and your country’s flag (PNG).
Please find attached the Summit’s concept note and provisional agenda. Additional
information on the event will follow in the coming weeks. Should you have any inquiry,
