  Promoting health and wellbeing by ensuring adequate availability of medicines

  Medicines containing narcotic drugs and psychotropic substances are essential for pain relief, anaesthesia as well as treatment of mental health and neurological conditions but may be misused, posing a risk to health and wellbeing. The International Narcotics Control Board (INCB) works with governments to ensure adequate supplies for patients, including during emergencies.
