Italy first in Europe to establish national plan against fentanyl says Meloni

Italy has launched a national plan to combat fentanyl misuse, becoming the first European country to do so, according to Premier Giorgia Meloni. During an international meeting on addiction prevention, she emphasized the importance of proactive measures against drug misuse. The plan includes training personnel, providing antidotes, and enhancing controls over the storage of fentanyl in healthcare facilities to prevent illegal distribution. Meloni warned that uncontrolled access to these substances could lead to widespread addiction.
