At a workshop in 2012 in Khartoum, attended by Sudanese psychiatrists based in both the UK and Sudan, as well as psychologists, social workers and lawyers from Sudan and elsewhere, a draft Mental Health Act for Sudan was approved; it is due to be submitted to the Sudanese Parliament. We give a summary of the draft Act and outline some of the areas that need further discussion.
