In the fight against the spread of narcotics and addiction, several entities heeded the call to arms by the State of Kuwait including the Defense Ministry and the Kuwait Fire Force (KFF).
For the Defense Ministry’s moral guidance and public relations department, its efforts focused on holding a variety of activities including symposia and lectures centering on protection of the youth against addiction and drugs. Those events highlighted the role of the family structure in fending off the evils of illicit drugs.
The department also stressed the importance of society in preventing the youth and other sectors of society from slipping into the desperate pit of narcotics.
During events and forums, the different types of drugs and their ill effect on society were discussed as a forewarning for those taking the issue lightly.
On its part, the Kuwait Fire Force (KFF) had taken a route when it came to combating drugs.
The KFF’s health affairs and public relations departments hold similar functions throughout the year to discourage drug use and promote clean living.
Functions, conducted in collaboration with various state entities, also urged people to spread awareness about narcotics use and called for reporting cases of drug usage.
It is noted that the military and security establishments in Kuwait ran routine tests on their personnel of all ranks and job descriptions to make sure that they were free of drugs.
