Continued efforts to produce appropriate mental health legislation in Pakistan led to the Mental Health Ordinance of 2001. However, with the 18th amendment to the constitution and devolution of health responsibilities to the provincial governments, it became the task of the provinces to pass appropriate mental health legislation through their respective assemblies. Currently the mental health legislative picture is fragmented and unsatisfactory. Only the provinces of Sindh and Punjab have a mental health act in place and there is an urgent need for similar legislative frameworks in other provinces to protect the rights of those with mental illness.
巴基斯坦为制定适当的精神卫生立法持续做出努力，最终促成了2001年《精神卫生条例》的出台。然而，随着宪法第18次修正案的通过以及卫生职责向省级政府的移交，各省的任务是通过各自的议会通过适当的精神卫生立法。目前，精神卫生立法的情况参差不齐，不尽人意。只有信德省和旁遮普省有精神卫生法案，其他省份迫切需要类似的立法框架来保护精神疾病患者的权利。
