The Ministry of Public Health (MoPH) has announced the launch of a new helpline to provide support for people experiencing stress and anxiety as a result of the current Covid-19 pandemic.
The helpline is staffed by a team of experienced mental health professionals who can provide assessment and support to callers through four main categories: Children and parents; Adults; Older people; and Healthcare workers, the MoPH has informed on social media.
The helpline is available from 7am to 10pm every day on the toll-free number, 16000.
One has to first select the language, then select 3 for HMC, and select 1 for HMC Urgent Consultation, the MoPH has explained through an infographic.
