SOUTH KOREA: WALKTHROUGH ON BASIC UTC

A 10-day walk-through training for 30 Korean addiction professionals was held from 8 to 18 July, 2019 in Seoul, South Korea. This initiative was implemented following a request from KAAP Organization, a DAP Education Provider. Dr Kim Min Sun (South Korea), Dr Betty Kadenge (South Africa) and Ms Yvonne Olando (Kenya) facilitated the training.

The training programme had two specific objectives: one was to support the South Korean Government in its efforts to fight illicit drug production, use and trafficking, and to curb related organised crime, including counterfeit narcotics and psychotropic substances; and second was to disseminate the UTC through universities so that the drug demand work forces can be equipped with the necessary knowledge and skills to respond to the drug problems in the country.
