International Doctors for Healthy Drug Policies
Our Aims increase the participation of medical doctors in drug policy reform

International Doctors for Healthy Drug Policies

IDHDP network is for medical doctors to share expertise and good practice in reducing the health, social and economic harms of people who use drugs and, with them at the center, create dialogue and influence practice and drug policy.

International Doctors for Healthy Drug Policies

IDHDP's purpose is to increase the participation of medical doctors in drug policy reform. There is a gap between evidence based practice and drug policy in many countries and IDHDP aims to lobby internationally to influence changes in drug policy to promote harm reduction and create healthy drug policies. We believe that doctors are in a strong position to help to achieve this. IDHDP also offers support to doctors in their home countries or regions by having core objectives/position statements, which promote harm reduction and healthy drug policies.

If you are a doctor and agree with our aims please join IDHDP free and add the issues that you would like to be addressed by IDHDP.

Join the voice of international doctors working for healthy drug policies and harm reduction.
