A second-year medical science student at the Kwame Nkrumah University of Science and Technology (KNUST) who recently made a suicide attempt is now in a stable condition and receiving comprehensive care from medical professionals and counselors, as confirmed by the university administration.

The incident took place on Tuesday evening when the student tried to jump from the fifth-floor balcony of the Brunei hostel.

Fortunately, quick-thinking fellow students intervened, preventing the tragedy and immediately seeking medical assistance for the student.

The Public Relations Officer of KNUST, Dr. Daniel Norris Bekoe, emphasized the significance of seeking timely support from counselors and discouraged students from resorting to such extreme measures.

The university is committed to providing the necessary resources and assistance to help students navigate their challenges and promote their mental well-being.
