Chihuahua Launches Four-Pillar Fentanyl Prevention Campaign With Planned U.S. Detection-Equipment Pact

The state pairs prevention goals with a planned U.S. equipment agreement to bolster early detection.

Overview

  • Governor Maru Campos unveiled “Fenta No! Porque tu vida vale más” as a permanent, multisectoral effort built on school, community, public‑security and communication pillars.
  • The school pillar targets 100% of primary and secondary campuses with prevention curricula, teacher training and activities such as “Fentanilo riesgo invisible” and “Vive Saludable.”
  • Community actions will concentrate on priority municipalities through mass screenings, referrals to treatment and epidemiological monitoring.
  • The public‑security component sets a goal to train at least 500 personnel in prevention and overdose response and to deploy the “Siempre presentes” program in schools.
  • Officials said the state will sign an agreement with the United States to receive specialized drug‑detection equipment to identify new substances or changes in drug composition.
