ANSWER: Unite for a Healthy Mind
Explanation:
The President of India, Shri Pranab Mukherjee inaugurated the first NIMCARE World Health Day Summit 2017 on April 7, 2017 in New Delhi.
The slogan of the first NIMCARE World Health Day Summit is, ‘Unite for a Healthy Mind’.
Of the mental health disorders, depression is probably the most common.
Depression affects people of all ages from all walks of life and in all countries.
As per the National Mental Health Survey 2015-16 conducted by NIMHANS, 5.2% of the Indian adult population suffers from depression in some form or the other.
There is a severe shortage of mental health professionals in India and this service gap can be bridged effectively by telemedicine.
The World Health Day Summit has begun in the right direction by launching the eCAP & SOL’s Telepsychiatry application for the rural and urban population in need of mental health consultation.
