Mary Bitta is an early career postdoctoral researcher in global mental health, currently based at the KEMRI Wellcome Trust Research Program in Kilifi, Kenya. She obtained her doctoral degree from the University of Oxford, UK, where she examined the effectiveness of a stigma reduction intervention in rural coastal Kenya. Her current work focuses on implementing and evaluating contextually relevant interventions which aim to address the treatment gap for priority mental, neurological and substance use disorders in low resource settings.
