During the last two decades several initiatives have been taken to improve psychiatric services in low-income rural areas in developing countries. They have included the formulation of national mental health programs and establishment of pilot programs for integration of mental health care with primary health care in India, Iran, and other countries in Asia, Africa, and South America. The psychiatrist has multiple roles to play in meeting the many challenges of providing mental health care in rural areas in developing countries.
在过去二十年里，人们采取了多项举措来改善发展中国家低收入农村地区的精神科服务。这些举措包括制定国家精神卫生项目，以及在印度、伊朗和亚洲、非洲及南美洲的其他国家建立将精神卫生保健与初级卫生保健相结合的试点项目。在应对发展中国家农村地区提供精神卫生保健的诸多挑战方面，精神科医生要发挥多种作用。
