The Kenya National Commission on Human Rights (KNCHR) is sounding the alarm over Kenya's escalating suicide crisis, highlighting the lack of a national registry to track its full extent.

• The Ministry of Health estimates four lives are lost to suicide daily in Kenya.
• The KNCHR is advocating for urgent measures to address the crisis, emphasizing it as a human rights imperative.
• Significant progress has been made with the January 2025 declaration that criminalizing attempted suicide is unconstitutional, yet access to mental health services remains a challenge.
