Every 40 seconds someone dies due to suicide and many more attempt
suicide – it can happen to anyone anywhere in the world. However,
suicides are preventable and everyone can play a role. This can be a
family member, friend or colleague who listens closely or encourages
help seeking, a health worker who openly asks about suicidal thoughts or
previous attempts, the community who identifies people at risk and
provides support. It can also be a policy maker who takes leadership and
brings different stakeholders together. WHO’s first World Suicide
Report calls upon individuals, communities and countries to act now for
preventing suicide.

The measles therapy followed a decade of unsuccessful treatments from numerous courses of chemotherapy to two stem cell transplants. But the cancer returned time and time again — until now. A year after the measles injections, she's still cancer-free.
