Ghana advances suicide prevention with new national strategy
Original: Advancing suicide prevention in Ghana with evidence, responsible reporting and a new national strategy
Ghana is moving forward on suicide prevention through a new national strategy, backed by evidence-based approaches and efforts to encourage responsible media reporting on suicide. The World Health Organization highlighted the initiative, which aims to strengthen prevention services, reduce stigma, and improve how suicidal behaviour is discussed and covered publicly across the country.
Why now: The launch or promotion of a new national suicide prevention strategy in Ghana has drawn attention to mental health policy in the region.
