**Answer:** The WHO QualityRights toolkit helps assess and improve quality and human rights in inpatient and outpatient mental health facilities, based on the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities. It covers dignity, freedom from coercion, legal capacity and community inclusion. Kenya's mental health investment case cited QualityRights assessments that found services of low quality. Leaders can use the toolkit for self-assessment and improvement plans alongside KMPDC and Kenya Quality Model for Health standards.
