Suicide in Sri Lanka is a common cause of unnatural death and a long term social issue. In the past, Sri Lanka had one of the highest suicide rates in the world. For several years before 2000, the suicide rate remained at 35 to 47 per 100,000 persons.[1] The introduction in pesticide control regulations coincided with a reduction in suicide rates in Sri Lanka.[2] Sri Lanka Federation for Suicide Prevention is an independent organisation working on suicide prevention in Sri Lanka.
