Literacy and Rights for People in Opioid Agonist Treatment (OAT) | 66th CND 2023 side event
Channel: Drugreporter
Date: 23/03/2023

The OAT side event has been organised by EuroNPUD in the name of Médecins du Monde. The event argued for a shift of power from the clinic to the clients. Professionals and community-led speakers presented recently developed tools for person centered OAT services, that aim to promote literacy about OAT options and highlight the rights of people on OAT, including women. This is a key foundation to support community-led monitoring of OAT services and fostering meaningful therapeutic alliances.
