UWalgreens umemezele ukuthi bazoqala ukubeka iNarcan, umuthi ongaphezu kwamanani owelapha ukweqisa izidakamizwa kwe-opioid, kuzo zonke izindawo zabo ezweni lonke. Ngokwenza lo muthi utholakale kalula, ama-Walgreens enza isitatimende esikhulu sokuthi inkinga ye-opioid inenkinga kangakanani eMelika.

"Ngokubeka iNarcan kuwo wonke amakhemisi ethu, senza kube lula ukuthi imindeni nabanakekeli bakwazi ukusiza abathandekayo babo ngokuba nayo uma kungenzeka idingeke," kusho iphini likamengameli weWalgreens uRick Gates esitatimendeni.

Abaphenduli bezimo eziphuthumayo abaningana kulo lonke elaseMelika baphethe i-Narcan futhi bebelokhu beyithengisa ngqo kubasebenzisi bezidakamizwa nemindeni yabo iminyaka. Uma iphathwa ngokushesha ngokwanele, isifutho samakhala sinamandla okusindisa impilo yomuntu uma seqile ngokweqile kunoma yiluphi uhla lwama-opioid-prescription painkillers ne-heroin afakiwe.

Emashumini amabili eminyaka adlule, ukusetshenziswa kwama-opioid kuye kwanda kakhulu eMelika. NgokweNational Institutes of Health, ukusetshenziswa kwe-heroin kukodwa sekuphindwe kane kusukela ngo-1999, okube nomthelela ekufeni kwabantu abalinganiselwa kuma-opioid abangama-91 ngosuku.

I-Walgreens ithi bazokwenza ukuthi i-Narcan itholakale ngaphandle kwencwadi kadokotela ezifundazweni ezingu-45 ezikuvumelayo, nokuthi isebenzisana nayo yonke enye ukuze ifinyeleleke kalula. Bahlela nokufundisa amakhasimende abo ngendlela yokusebenzisa isifutho samakhala, kuyilapho begcizelela ukuthi akuyona into engathatha indawo yokufuna usizo lwezokwelapha olufanele.

Lesi sinyathelo senkampani yezidakamizwa siza ezithendeni zikaMongameli uDonald Trump ememezela ubhadane lwe-opioid njengesimo esiphuthumayo sezempilo kuzwelonke. Ubize le nkinga ngokuthi "ihlazo lesizwe" - anesiqiniseko sokuthi i-US "izoyinqoba," ngokusho kwe-CNN..

Kubalulekile ukukhumbula ukuthi ukulutheka akukhethi. (Thatha lo wesifazane owaphuza amaphilisi ezinhlungu ngenxa yokulimala kwakhe nge-basketball futhi waba umlutha we-heroin.) Yingakho kubalulekile ukuthi uzifundise futhi unake kakhulu umndeni nabangane okungenzeka bahlupheka ngasese. (Qaphela lezi zimpawu ezijwayelekile eziyisixwayiso zokusetshenziswa kabi kwezidakamizwa.)
