Minister of State for Population Hala Youssef met with Chief of the Anti-Addiction Fund Amr Othman to discuss means of beefing up cooperation between the ministry and the fund in the coming phase.

The minister suggested that the fund could play a role in increasing the people's awareness about the dangers of addiction through a program carried out by the ministry to promote the demographic characteristics in various governorates.

The two sides agreed on including programs on dangers of addiction in the youth activity weeks.
