Are there no international case notifications to WHO as it has been the practice for COVID-19? Or is it that the global public health system may be falling apart… that’s a scary scenario..

if only it is understood that drug use disorder is a chronic relapsing condition where interventions need to be in response to the needs of the person.. plus drug treatment is not an on and off switch #harmreduction #publichealth

Today is #InternationalWomensDay Progress on #GenderEquality in health care is too slow. Women have distinct & changing health needs at different stages of their lives. Health care should be easy to access, fair & tailored to meet each woman’s unique needs & circumstances. 🔗 bit.ly/3DmZQ2o
Against a blue background, graphic representation shows a diverse group of women holding a megaphone and placard. In the background are two yellow and black striped tapes.

yes people never paid much attention… currently there’s no agonist treatment like opioids, and only psycho-social interventions for meth use, plus whatever symptomatic Rx for withdrawals. And its a growing problem in many regions.. yet we are still exploring ways to address the issue wffectively

I guess the recommendation is to treat and stabile simultaneously both the mental health and meth use disorders.
