Description
Emmanuel Kumah and six colleagues reviewed what is known about the cost value of mind care for people living with HIV. Drugs for HIV have changed survival, yet stress and social struggles persist. Mind care improves mental health and adherence, and its worth in care is well shown. Whether it is worth its cost had never been pulled together in one place. The team searched medicine, mind science, and money data banks across 2024.
Three reviewers screened studies on their own, with citation tracking to catch strays. No year limits were set. The review weighs the money evidence study by study. Policy points close the paper, aimed at health systems choosing whether to fund joined mental health care. For programs with tight budgets, proof of cost value can be the gap between pilot projects and lasting services.
