Reducing fatal opioid overdose in preventing and treating heroin overdose: the Villa Maraini Foundation experience

The IFRC, the Italian Red Cross and the Villa Maraini Foundation, in response to high levels of drug use and related problems globally, have established a tripartite international partnership on substance abuse. The three institutions join efforts to maximize and leverage the expertise of each partner to support the Red Cross Red Crescent to expand comprehensive approaches to drug abuse, with a focus on harm reduction and the fight against stigma and social exclusion. Key activities directly contribute to support the IFRC Strategy 2020, the Strategic Operational Framework for Health (SoF) and the process of building resilience. Support is given to National Societies to enhance activities addressing and meeting the basic needs of communities suffering from drug abuse, as well as accessing health and education, eliminating health inequities and advocating for the respect of human rights
