Do you have a feeling of extreme despair? Dial 1166

KATHMANDU: In cases of extreme despair, the government has advised citizens to call the free hotline 1166.

The National Health Education, Information and Communication Center under the Ministry of Health and Population made this request.

The Center sought this because the number of suicides has recently increased. In the event of overwhelming sadness, the centre has recommended that people call the Namaste Network’s free hotline at 1166 at any time and seek counselling from a counsellor.

As difficult days happen to everyone, the centre requests to find a solution to the situation with patience at that moment and go forward.
