A study of community mental health care in present-day Azerbaijan covering the period from 1991 to present has revealed two key prerequisites for raising the behavioral health care services to a higher level: social well- being of society and streamlining the delivery of mental health services to population. Favorable conditions have been created in the country for progressively promoting access to better mental health care. With a view to further upgrading the mental health care services we have developed an effective five-pronged system embracing the following facilities: inpatient, semi-inpatient, outpatient, rehabilitation, and preventive. In this context, of special importance is the creation (in addition to traditional forms of psychiatric care) of psychiatric units in large multi-field general medical centres and psychiatrist offices in primary care settings.
