Committed to ensure access to services for all, Greece has set Harm Reduction as the crucial first step of the therapeutic path of every individual facing addiction, contributing to a healthier, more inclusive society with solidarity.
Greece is dedicated to further enhance and develop its harm reduction policies for the benefit of people who use drugs, the community and the public health, respecting, at the same time, human rights, providing direct access to all.
