In 2023 we paid 156 drug asddicts to obtain long term birth control. We continued getting drug addicts/alcoholics on long term birth control. Continued public awareness about our offer while working with drug addicts to locate drug treatment for them. Setting up panels to educate youth about the dangers of drugs.
