Première Ligne in Geneva showcases safe injection centre to UNAIDS Board members
UNAIDS - "Sitting across from the bustling main Geneva train station, the lime-green block structure called Quai 9 stands out. The building houses a supervised drug injection centre run by the non-governmental organisation, Première Ligne. Quai 9 (track 9 in English) also provides primary health care services as part of its harm reduction drop-in centre to people who use drugs.
On the occasion of UNAIDS 41st meeting mid-December of the Programme Coordinating Board, the Switzerland government organized a visit for UNAIDS board members.
The visit highlighted how addressing the needs of injecting drug users through a public health and human rights-based approach, considerably reduces the risks of HIV infection and links people to health care." (Photo: Nicola Sap De Mitri/flickr, CC BY-SA 2.0)
