The Ministry of Health in Spain has set up a toll-free hotline to prevent suicides, which have been on the rise in recent years.

In Spain, an average of 11 people commit suicide per day.

"It was necessary to move from silence to debate, from debate to action, and this is the first line of action. "Suicide incidents are a hidden drama that must be overcome," said Spanish Health Minister Carolina Darias.

She stressed that suicides, which have been exacerbated by the epidemic and the economic crisis, are a tacit threat to society and must be overcome.

"In Spain, 220 people try to commit suicide every day and 11 of them succeed. "There was an increase of 7.5 percent compared to a year ago," said Darias.

It has been announced that professional psychologists will work on the suicide prevention hotlines, which will operate 24 hours a day, seven days a week.

In Spain, 3,941 people committed suicide in 2020, while 300 were between 14 and 29 years old.
