Suspect an overdose? Act fast. Call local emergency services, check breathing and follow their instructions.

If an opioid overdose may be involved, give naloxone if available.

Place an unresponsive but breathing person on their side. Stay until help arrives.

@INPUD @enpud @EuronpudO @Kenpud1 @wearenapud @LANPUD1 @TransformDrugs @HRInews Overdose does not always look the same. Opioids and depressants may cause unresponsiveness or slow breathing. Stimulants may cause chest pain, seizures or overheating.

Suspect an overdose? Seek emergency help and stay with the person.

An overdose happens when the body cannot cope with the amount of a drug or combination of drugs in it. It can be fatal or non-fatal and can involve any drug.

Knowing the facts can save lives. Overdose is a health issue, not a moral failing.

The debt crisis is a health crisis. 3.4 billion people live in countries spending more on debt than on health or education. On 1st July, CSOs in Kenya united under the #FreedomFromDebt Campaign to demand a fairer global debt system. 🎥 Watch ⬇️ #DebtJustice #PeopleBeforeProfit

Harm reduction non-negotiables: sterile equipment, naloxone, HIV, hepatitis and STI services, opioid agonist treatment and peer-led outreach.

People who use drugs have the same right to health as everyone else, without stigma or discrimination.

This #InternationalYouthDay, @AfricanPuD highlights the voices of young people within the wider community of people who use drugs.

Their lived experience must meaningfully shape the policies and harm reduction responses affecting them.
