Leave no one behind and that includes people who use drugs

This video discusses how Daouda Diouf comes daily to the Fann Hospital compound daily in Dakar, Senegal. He is one of 250 people enrolled in CEPIAD’s opioid substitution therapy programme (OST). OST is a globally recognized intervention to reduce injecting behaviors that put people who inject drugs at risk of contracting HIV and other blood-borne diseases, such as viral hepatitis.
“I am here to take my treatment and I am also a tailor, so I teach a few other users of drugs how to sew,” Mr. Diouf said, cutting fabric in his makeshift outdoor workshop. Keeping occupied and selling his wares has helped him stay healthy for the last seven years.
