A new report by the World Health Organization shows... that one person dies as a result of
suicide... every 40 seconds.
It cites mainly economic factors as the reasons for people taking their own lives... and notes
that three times as many men as women... kill themselves.
Kim Min-ji reports.
Over 800-thousand people commit suicide every year that means someone takes their own
life every 40 seconds.
A new report by the World Health Organization showed... low and middle income nations
accounted for about 75-percent of all cases around the world.
It stated the most common methods of suicide ranged from self poisioning to hangings... to
the use of firearms.
The report explained that restricting access to means of suicide is effective prevention,... as
seen in developed countries,... adding that governments need to come up with stronger
measures.
Only 28 countries are known to have national suicide prevention strategies.
By age, the WHO said the suicide rate was the highest among those aged 70 and older,... and
that suicide is the second leading cause of death in young people aged 15 to 29.
Margaret Chan, Secretary General of the WHO, said the report is a call for action to address a
large public health problem which has been shrouded in taboo for far too long.
The WHO added that another way to prevent suicide is responsible reporting by media.
The report comes ahead of World Suicide Prevention Day on September 10th which raises
awareness about suicide and suicide prevention around the world.
