Drug Checking – from early detection to a public health action plan

Drug Checking services also provide crucial public health surveillance, enabling the early detection of dangerous new substances (like the synthetic opioids, nitazenes). Effective management of these warnings requires a comprehensive national preparedness plan. This framework must clearly define the roles of government, laboratories, and harm reduction organizations, and include people who use drugs in a coordinated response.
