Mental Health Care Act

The Mental Health Care Act is a legal framework that aims to protect the rights of individuals with mental health conditions while ensuring they receive appropriate care and treatment. It promotes the provision of mental health services, outlines the criteria for involuntary treatment, and emphasizes patient consent and autonomy. The Act also supports the need for community-based care, aiming to integrate individuals into society while safeguarding their dignity and well-being. Ultimately, it seeks to balance the need for care with respect for individual rights, ensuring that mental health care is both humane and effective.
