This week, the International Rescue Committee (IRC) hosted an event to launch new guidelines aimed at treating perinatal depression in Yemen. The Thinking Healthy Program Guideline, developed by the IRC and the Ministry of Public Health and Population in Yemen, will train community health workers to support expecting and new mothers with depression using cognitive behavioral techniques.
The global role of the WHO lies in its establishment and monitoring of international standards or guidelines, helping to standardize healthcare services and goals worldwide.
