Nalokson rešuje življenja le, če je pravočasno pri roki

Ob Mednarodnem dnevu ozaveščanja o predoziranju opozarjamo na vrzel med formalno in dejansko dostopnostjo naloksona—učinkovine, ki lahko v ključnih minutah obrne potek opioidnega predoziranja in reši življenje.

V Sloveniji je nalokson brezplačno dostopen osebam, vključenim v centre za preprečevanje in zdravljenje odvisnosti od prepovedanih drog. Druga možnost je samoplačniški beli recept, kar zahteva obisk zdravnika, razkritje uporabe opioidov in plačilo naloksona.

Prav ti pogoji otežujejo dostop najbolj ranljivim skupinam z največ ovirami pri vstopu v zdravstveni sistem, med njimi mladim, osebam brez urejenega bivališča in ljudem, ki uporabo drog skrivajo.

Omejen je tudi splošni doseg naloksona: leta 2024 je bilo predpisanih okoli 100 pakiranj, medtem ko je bilo ocenjenih 4.480 oseb z visokorizično uporabo opioidov. Istega leta je bilo zabeleženih 87 smrti zaradi neposrednega delovanja prepovedanih drog.

Na potrebo po širšem dostopu naloksona opozarjajo tudi izkušnje članic Zveze. Pri terenskem delu opažajo več visokorizične uporabe opioidov in injiciranja drog med mladimi, tudi mladoletnimi, ki pogosto niso vključeni v zdravljenje.

Sedanja ureditev ima še eno pomembno vrzel: nevladnim organizacijam ni zagotovljena sistemska oskrba z naloksonom, čeprav redno dosegajo najbolj ranljive skupine in so ob predoziranju pogosto prve, ki ukrepajo. Samo spomladi 2026 so v razmiku treh tednov ukrepale ob dveh opioidnih predoziranjih v Ljubljani in Kopru.

V Zvezi se zato zavzemamo za:
→ razdeljevanje naloksona prek nizkopražnih programov in terenskih služb
→ sistemsko usposabljanje in opremljanje nevladnih organizacij, dnevnih centrov in zavetišč
→ razpršeno mrežo prostorov za manj tvegano uporabo drog
→ urejanje odprtih scen z zdravstvenimi, socialnimi in stanovanjskimi ukrepi

Viral hepatitis often shows no symptoms, so many won’t know they have it until it’s too late.

Chronic hepatitis B and C are the world’s leading cause of liver cancer. More than 1.3 million people die because of hepatitis B or C each year – that’s the most of any communicable disease.

Each year, there are nearly two million new cases.

But hepatitis is preventable and treatable. We have fast and accurate tests, effective and affordable treatments, and a proven vaccine for hepatitis B. We already have everything we need to eliminate it.

What’s holding us back? Low awareness, misinformation, myths and stigma are stopping people from accessing hepatitis services – and leading to a lack of action by decision makers.

This World Hepatitis Day, let’s break down the barriers holding us back from a hepatitis-free world.
