A trial project has been launched in Ho Chi Minh City to offer people with signs of depression the help they need before they could harm themselves.

 

When detecting signs similar to depression, patients or their family members can call the hotline 19001267 operated by HCMC Psychiatric Hospital, or 115, used for emergency health issues in general.

 

Staff receiving those calls would ask several screening questions before medical staff are sent to the patient's address, talking them into having their mental health checked at HCMC Psychiatric Hospital.
