Support doubles for united call to curb alcohol harm
A united call for coordinated international action to curb alcohol harm doubled the size of its pool of supporters in its first five days.
The Oslo Declaration was drafted by 11 influential organisations representing doctors, cancer patients, researchers, public health and developent charities. Five days after it launched it had 22 supporters, with more to come.
A new page allows organisations to voice their support, with the European Federation of Addiction Societies joining the Standing Committee of European Doctors (CPME) and United European Gastroenterology.
