WHO report on Preventing suicide: A global imperative
Overview
Every 40 seconds a person dies by suicide somewhere in the world.
“Preventing suicide: a global imperative” is the first WHO report of its
kind. It aims to increase awareness of the public health significance
of suicide and suicide attempts, to make suicide prevention a higher
priority on the global public health agenda, and to encourage and
support countries to develop or strengthen comprehensive suicide
prevention strategies in a multisectoral public health approach.
The report provides a global knowledge base on suicide and suicide
attempts as well as actionable steps for countries based on their
current resources and context to move forward in suicide prevention.
