| No amendments yet | 2017-present | The Mental Healthcare Act, 2017 has not undergone any formal amendments since its enactment. However, there have been discussions about potential modifications to address implementation challenges, particularly regarding the establishment of Mental Health Tribunals and Review Boards, funding mechanisms, and integration with existing healthcare systems. | The absence of amendments reflects the Act's comprehensive nature but also highlights the need for better implementation mechanisms and resource allocation rather than legislative changes. |
