Kanada. ‘The crisis is not abating’: Opioids killing more than 11 Canadians daily
More than 11 Canadians are dying every day on average because of opioids, according to new data from the federal government.
“The crisis is not abating,” Theresa Tam, Canada’s chief public health officer, said in an interview on Tuesday.
Canada is the world’s second highest per-capita consumer of opioids, after the United States, which has led to widespread misuse, dependence and addiction. (The Globe and Mail, Kanada, 18.09.2018)
