Over twenty parliamentarians, especially drawn from the Portfolio Committee on Health and Childcare, have joined hands and united against drugs abuse in Zimbabwe
A strategy workshop is being held this morning at the Harare Holiday Inn hotel for the concerned parliamentarians
A key outcome of the workshop is the adoption of strategies and policies that promote a harm reduction based approach against drugs and substance abuse
Added to that, there will be an emphasis on a medical response instead of a mere criminalised one against drugs and substance abusers
The workshop is being hosted by the Zimbabwe Civil Liberties and Drugs Network (ZCLDN) and the Parliamentarians Network for Global Health (UNITE)
