Issue Stigma and availability gaps are being met with low-cost apps rather than clinicians
Summary
The Africa Wellness Initiative frames stigma and unavailability as the twin barriers to African mental health care, and presents accessible low-cost digital support as the bridge, with human care added only where needed. The substitution of software for scarce clinicians is presented without workforce or outcome data.
