Amid surge in OOAT admissions, staff shortage proves a handicap

There are only 45 psychiatrists for 542 OOAT clinics across the state, and many districts lack even a single psychiatrist.

Drug addicts visiting OOAT clinics had seen a two-fold rise since the state government launched the ‘Yudh Nashian Virudh’ (War against Drugs) campaign in the last week of February this year. (HT File)
