8. DRUG ABUSE

The Dangerous Drugs Act Cap. 245 will be amended to create two acts, one for the medicinal use of dangerous drugs and the other for illicit trafficking. The act for trafficking will be handled by the Narcotics Bureau under the direction of the Minister of Health.

Chemicals likely to be used in the manufacture of drugs of abuse will be controlled under appropriate legislation.

Information on Drug Abuse will be disseminated to the public in a language understandable by all. Educational efforts will be expanded to include liaison with the District Development Committees; education, information and communication to all the susceptible groups (particularly youth and students); multidisciplinary drug information seminars throughout the country to educate all cadres of health personnel; and use of all the media of communication including print and electronic as well as traditional media such as songs, dances, poems, and drama.
