In Mauritius, alcohol is responsible for 143 deaths. 339 people including 40 women have been admitted to Brown Sequard Hospital for alcohol-related behavior problems, according to the latest report from the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
The World Health Organization reports that 50% of the world’s population consumes alcohol. Drinking alcoholic beverages can lead to serious health problems. The ministry wants to make this scourge a fight through prevention campaigns and the treatment of alcoholics. Apart from treatment by health professionals, an alcoholic person needs the support of his loved ones to get out of it.
