On Wednesday 25th June 2014, the team of Managing Director and staff of Gede Foundation welcomed Dr Andrew Zamani to their office for a courtesy call. The visit was intended to explore areas of possible collaboration between the Foundation and the Association in the areas of research and capacity building considering Gede’s evolving programme focusing on areas of mental health, neurological and substance abuse as well as other stigmatized illnesses. The Professor commended Gede for developing a programme in such an underserved and highly stigmatized health burden and was especially encouraged in terms of Gede's programme to further coordinate CSOs agencies working within mental health.
