Health Ministry to finalize addiction centers
The Ministry of Health in Tunisia is working to complete a national network consisting of five addiction treatment centers spread across various regions, aiming to address the increasing consumption of drugs and substances affecting the mind. The ministry also plans to carry out a national study during 2026 and 2027 to better understand the phenomenon of addiction, particularly among the age group of 15-65 years, following previous studies that showed a significant rise in the use of cannabis and recreational pills. Reports emphasize a lack of effective addiction countermeasures, with current treatment services deteriorating; Jabal Al-Wusta Center remains the only active facility. Meanwhile, the ministry continues its efforts in awareness campaigns and early diagnosis to reduce the societal and health impacts of this phenomenon.
