Infographic outlining three strategies for narrowing India's mental health treatment gap: domestic financing and rights-based governance, task-shared digitally supported workforce, and shared digital public infrastructure (ABDM), with descriptive bullet points for each. — A three-layer model for converging India's existing assets. Shared digital public infrastructure (the Ayushman Bharat Digital Mission) lowers the cost of adding a mental health module; a task-shared, digitally supported workforce of ASHAs, counselors, and peers, backed by Tele MANAS and by private specialists reachable through the Health Professional Registry and a teleconsultation tariff, makes delivery affordable; and domestic financing with rights-based governance under the Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 makes it durable.
