Narcotic drugs present a tragic contradiction. On the one hand, 500 000 people die each year from drug use. On the other, thousands of people are left to face their pain and suffering without relief due to the lack of access to opioid analgesics. WHO’s vision is that everyone, regardless of who they are or where they live, should be able to access the quality care they need to live a healthy and productive life.
