The Kintampo Project was developed by Dr Mark Roberts at the Southern Health NHS Foundation Trust in 2012 with the objective to reduce the treatment gap in rural Ghana by building a community mental health workforce. It did this by training Medical Assistants (Psychiatry) and Community Mental Health Officers and the College of Health, Kintampo, Ghana.
The work is now self-sustaining having been incorporated into local training arrangements and the UK home for the project is now the Centre for Global Health, University of Winchester. A brief summary of the work can be found here. Enquiries to the Convenor for the Centre for Global Health, Dr Rachel Locke.
