Suicide has become a major threat to our National health security and thus far alot of lives has been lost due to this virus called depression which is the major cause of suicide in our environment.

However, Drug and Substance Abuse has also been on the verge. So many young adults, teens and even older adult ones are seriously abusing different drugs and substances like Codeine, tramadol ,heroin and so many more.
In respect to all these , DTA health support foundation launched a project tag ""Fight against Suicide and Substance abuse"" on the 28th of March 2018 to address the malignant abuse of all these drugs and substances.
