The new Asia Harm Reduction Alliance (AsHRA) platform aims to bring together leading harm reduction experts in the medical community in Asia Pacific and the Middle East. Their mission is to reduce drug, alcohol and tobacco-related death and disease by educating policymakers on the benefits of harm reduction policies.
“In tobacco harm reduction alone, the reduced risk products can help prevent up to 1,000,000 deaths each year” says the AsHRA website, which is being championed by key medical professionals and public health experts.
The website, along with its counterpart Twitter and YouTube channels, will release weekly posts, and the latest and most important scientific studies in the areas of tobacco, alcohol and drug harm reduction.
Webinars with key public health advocates and experts will be conducted and broadcast to shine a light on the harm reduction work and policy developments in Asia Pacific and the Middle East.
