The economically developing countries face a perpetual challenge to provide essential health care. The available health care delivery systems are primitive and lack organisation and resources. Mental health care suffers even more acutely for want of attention, widespread ignorance and prejudice. The services in this field are inadequate and often inappropriate. The urge for a qualitative change has led to a focus on higher training of specialist doctors.

This paper describes the movement from a doctor-centred, fragmented mental health care delivery system to a system of collective responsibility on the policy level, and individualized attention on the client level. This may be achieved through the creation of a Human Services Council.

There have been a number of findings in the research on aftercare which have significance for courts and legislatures faced with choices involving planning and implementation of mental health systems. Both the older and newer methods of community mental health care delivery are analyzed. There appear to be cogent reasons for emphasizing the provision of aftercare facilities to poverty communities. Certain reasons for failures in aftercare treatment are identified. An analysis of the literature on aftercare indicates that there are certain elements important for the effective functioning of an aftercare system.
