Approach

Today, I had the opportunity to visit a rehabilitation center on behalf of the Narcotics Control Department. It was inspiring to see the resilience and determination of individuals overcoming addiction.

Our collective efforts in substance abuse prevention are crucial for building a healthier, drug-free society. Let’s keep working together for positive change.
