[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

400 million people, or 7% of the world’s population, live with alcohol use disorders.

Of those, over 200 million people are dependent on alcohol.
This is when you feel you are unable to quit or reduce drinking or cannot function without alcohol.

If you are concerned about your alcohol consumption, talk to your healthcare worker https://t.co/4pH6Lj57eX

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

Alcohol can increase risks to health, even at low levels, but the majority of harms stem from heavy episodic or continuous consumption.

Know the risks, protect your health.

As a child I experienced the smell, sound & devastation of war. My time in #Kyiv has brought back those very painful & vivid memories of fear, pain & loss. I know the horror that people in #Ukraine are experiencing & wish for peace to return - here & everywhere in the world.

[Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus @DrTedros]

War is Hell. I urge the Russian Federation to end the war.

@UNODC w/ @WHO organized a regional workshop with participants from 🇰🇿, 🇰🇬, 🇹🇯, 🇹🇲, 🇺🇿 on #IntDUDTXStandards implementation in Tashkent

[World Health Organization (WHO) @WHO]

🆕study undertaken in 🇰🇿, 🇰🇬, 🇹🇯 & 🇺🇦 shows that training people most likely to witness an #opioid overdose & providing them with the drug naloxone, has the potential to significantly ↘️ the number of deaths in these countries if scaled up nationwide.
