Biden-Harris Administration Launches Nationwide Initiative to Combat Overdose Crisis

The initiative aims to increase access to naloxone, a life-saving opioid overdose reversal medication, across various sectors.

The White House Challenge to Save Lives from Overdose is a call-to-action to enhance training and access to naloxone.
Naloxone, approved for over-the-counter use, is now more accessible in places like airports, schools, and construction sites.
Organizations across industries, including airlines and schools, are committing to equip their facilities with naloxone.
The initiative is part of the Biden-Harris Administration's broader effort to address the public health and safety crisis of drug overdoses.
Federal investments and policy actions aim to make naloxone widely available and to educate the public on its use.
