MUSCAT: The national community competition to curb the spread of Narcotics & Psychotropic Substances, which was launched by the Ministry of Health (MoH) represented by the Department of Community Based Initiatives, and in collaboration with the National Committee for Narcotics & Psychotropic Substances, was evaluated on Wednesday at the Directorate-General of Health Services, Governorate of Muscat.


The assessment was commenced with the presences of the Vice-Wali of Boshar and members of the Governorates’ Health Committees.


The evaluation committee assessed three projects of Muscat Governorate, which are My Health My Life – My Addiction My Prison, awareness level of parents and their realization of the drugs risks, as well as a conscious drug-free Community.


The competition aims at strengthening the role of the wilayat’s health committees and consequently community role, in supporting community based projects and resolving the drug-related issues, as well as developing in the community individuals the concept of voluntary work for serving the public interest.
