IDHDP: "The need to challenge unhealthy drug policies to improve drug treatment"

(Posted 02 February 2012)
Dr Chris Ford presented on behalf of IDHDP (International Doctors for Healthy Drugs Policies) at the Global Addiction Conference in Lisbon, Portugal (5-7 December 2011) on "The need to challenge unhealthy drug policies to improve drug treatment". This presentation has been added to the Other Resources section of the Resource Library.

IDHDP's purpose is to increase the participation of medical doctors in drug policy reform. There is a gap between evidence based practice and drug policy in many countries and IDHDP aims to lobby internationally to influence changes in drug policy to promote harm reduction and create healthy drug policies. They believe that doctors are in a strong position to help to achieve this.

Why not visit the IDHDP website to learn more and, if you are a doctor and agree with their aims, please join. Alternatively, anyone can join their public forums and add their voice to the international debate!
