The 10 Most Abused Drugs In Africa by PublicHealthNig: 6:35pm On Dec 15, 2023 |
Recently the African Union held a high level session on addressing substance use and related mental health disorders among youth, women and children. The number of people who use drugs on the continent has risen exponentially with a corresponding increase in the number of people with drug use disorders and comorbidities including young people. This is a result of growing market for drugs including those produced locally, in addition to Africa being a major transit area for trafficked drugs of which significant amount remains on the local market. A total of 60 million individuals representing 8.4% of the population aged 15 to 64 years were estimated to have used illicit drugs in Africa in 2018 by the World Drug Report. As a result of its projected population growth, Africa is likely to be particularly vulnerable to an increase in the number of people who use drugs by 2030. The estimated drug use prevalence is projected to increase by 40% in 2030 due to the exponential demographic factors experienced by the continent.

I guess this list focuses more on illicit drugs. Topics like this make you think of licit drugs taken without medical prescription, In Nigeria, tramadol and paracetamol should top the chart. 7 Likes |
