Drug overdose: a film about life

WHO ISSUP

This is a film about hope and life, it is about people who are making a difference. It is a film to inspire the actions of those who are striving to reduce deaths from drug overdose, and to honour the memories of those who have died.

More than 500,000 deaths annually are attributable to drug use, and about 115,000 people die every year from opioid overdose alone. WHO supports countries in implementing prevention and treatment options for opioid use disorders that can decrease the risk of a drug overdose.
