Description : BACKGROUND
Each year, more than 3 million people die of alcohol related causes globally - this is attributable to 1 death every 10 seconds. The harmful use of alcohol not only affects the health and well-being of alcohol users, but also their families and communities. As of 2010, alcohol consumption within the Western Pacific Region (WPR) exceeded the global average.
Effective alcohol policies protect the health of populations. In 2018, the World Health Organization released the `SAFER` technical package to support countries in implementing policies and interventions aimed to minimize alcohol related harm. `SAFER` stands as an acronym to five evidence-based, cost-effective policy-based interventions to reduce the harmful use of alcohol. These are: (1) Strengthening restrictions on alcohol availability, (2) Advancing and enforcing drinking and driving counter measures, (3) Facilitating access to screening, brief interventions and treatment, (4) Enforcing bans on comprehensive restrictions on alcohol advertising, sponsorship and promotion, and (5) Raising prices on alcohol through excise taxes and pricing policies.
Member States within WPR have made significant progress in addressing the harmful use of alcohol however, progress is not uniform and is often challenging to sustain. Tailored technical support is required to guide both the development of relevant alcohol policies and to ensure mechanisms are in place for their effective enforcement.
