Abstract summary
Perinatal mental health care differs around the world. We provide a global perspective on the current status of service provision, barriers and facilitators to access, and strategies to improve access in high-income and low- and middle-income countries across five continents (Asia, Africa, Europe, North America and South America). Many of the countries considered do not have universal healthcare coverage. This poses a challenge to perinatal mental health care access. However, there are other social and structural barriers to access, including stigma and other sources of marginalization and discrimination. Yet there are opportunities discussed herein to learn more about what perinatal mental health services work for what populations* and in what circumstances, by adopting a global lens to examine innovative solutions utilized across geographical settings.
