PHRC


Drug abuse is a worldwide problem that affects millions of people, and Nepal is no exception. Over the last few years, growing drug use and alcoholism has been of increasing concern to the society in Nepal. Since Nepal is a third world country, it has been chosen as a transit point to traffic narcotic drugs and precursor chemicals to neighbouring countries. Now, we are able to find many drugs which we had only heard about. According to a survey report prepared by the Ministry of Home Affairs and Central Bureau of Statistics the number of Hard Drug Users (HDU) in Nepal has increased by 86% over the period of 6 years. The study was conducted in 18 districts including 26 municipalities spread over five development regions of Nepal. Taking such developments into account PHRC was established to spread awareness and rehabilitate anyone suffering from drug abuse.
