Bulgaria's caretaker Health Minister, Prof Nikolay Petrov, has mobilized all health inspectorates in the country to search for and provide assistance to people who are in danger of committing suicide.

The Bulgarian Standard daily reports the motive for this decision has been the suicide wave and the latest self-immolation of Bulgarian man Todor, 41, in the northeastern village of Sitovo, which brought the total number to 6 in the course of slightly over a month.

The action for the rescue of desperate Bulgarians begins at the beginning of next week.

Health inspectors and psychologists will be searching for risk groups to help improve their spirit.

The Health Minister is demanding strict accountability for their work.
