Abstract

Suicide rates and rates of self-harm are high in Mauritius. This report concerns a comprehensive analysis of the incidence of self-poisoning on the island. The incidence of self-poisoning could be minimised if all the causative factors contributing to the practice were identified. Since this form of self-harm is influenced by demographic patterns, the social and economic environment, legal provisions and the healthcare system, a study specific to Mauritius will be of great relevance.
