The incident has once again raised serious concerns about the mounting stress and mental health challenges faced by medical students, aspirants and doctors. 

Medical Dialogues earlier reported that a 22-year-old MBBS student at Manipal Tata Medical College (TMMC), died by suicide, allegedly by consuming poison. His tragic death came amid a spate of four suicides reported in the steel city within 24 hours.

Previously, to prevent suicide and promote mental well‑being among medical professionals, the Federation of All India Medical Association (FAIMA) has launched a dedicated 365-day Mental Health Redressal Helpline (MHRH). This helpline aims to support doctors, medical students, and healthcare workers facing stress and mental health challenges.

The helpline will be available 20 hours daily, seven days a week, and will be managed by a dedicated team of psychiatrists who will cater to the mental health needs of the medical professionals to ensure that residents receive timely, professional, and confidential support.
