Abstract

The WHO Eastern Mediterranean Region (EMR) consists of 22 countries including Afghanistan, Bahrain, Djibouti, Egypt, Iraq, Islamic Republic of Iran, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Morocco, Oman, Pakistan, Palestine, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Sudan, Syrian Arab Republic, Tunisia, United Arab Emirates (UAE), and Yemen. According to Global Burden of Disease (GBD) data, death from self-harm has increased by 100% between 1990 and 2015 in this region. Although this increase is substantial, it appears trivial in comparison to the 1027% increase in deaths due to war and legal interventions. This might partly explain why suicide prevention does not have a high priority in these countries and why there are currently no suicide prevention strategies in place. Despite the above, some important activities in the area of suicide prevention have been carried out in the region. And while peace and stability may take time to come to the region, it should not prevent suicide prevention programs from being developed and implemented.

摘要

世界卫生组织东地中海区域（EMR）由 22 个国家组成，包括阿富汗、巴林、吉布提、埃及、伊拉克、伊朗伊斯兰共和国、约旦、科威特、黎巴嫩、利比亚、摩洛哥、阿曼、巴基斯坦、巴勒斯坦、卡塔尔、沙特阿拉伯、索马里、苏丹、阿拉伯叙利亚共和国、突尼斯、阿拉伯联合酋长国（阿联酋）和也门。根据全球疾病负担（GBD）数据，1990 年至 2015 年期间，该区域因自残导致的死亡人数增加了 100%。尽管这一增幅很大，但与因战争和法律干预导致的 1027%的死亡人数增幅相比，这一增幅似乎微不足道。这可能部分解释了为什么自杀预防在这些国家没有得到高度重视，以及为什么目前没有制定自杀预防策略。尽管如此，该区域还是开展了一些预防自杀方面的重要活动。虽然该区域实现和平与稳定尚需时日，但这不应妨碍制定和实施自杀预防方案。
