Medical and Harm Reduction Facilities
INHSU is dedicated to promoting comprehensive and responsive health services and policies for people who use drugs around the world. INHSU is committed to ensuring our conference provides and facilitates appropriate care for all delegates who may have special healthcare needs, especially those people who use or have used drugs, or who are living with HIV or viral hepatitis.
All conference delegates should arrange their own health and travel insurance in advance of their trip to Athens and should ensure that they carry it with them whilst at the conference.
All conference delegates who are undergoing any kind of medical treatment should bring their own medication in sufficient quantities to cover their treatment for the duration of their stay in Athens.
All conference delegates undergoing any kind of medical treatment are advised to bring a medical record from their doctor (written in English) specifying their condition and the treatment they are receiving. This will make things easier in the event of unexpected circumstances, such as medication being mislaid or the need for urgent medical care.
Such a letter from your doctor and, if possible, a copy of the prescription in your name, will also verify your authorisation for these medications (should you be asked) upon arrival at the airport.
When Carrying Medication Abroad
- You are advised to carry your medication in your hand luggage in non-breakable containers and if, in liquid form, with no more than 100ml in each
- Please ensure you have a signed copy of your prescription and a doctor’s letter outlining your need for treatment (as above).
- Please keep your medication in its original packaging with labels left intact and name clearly defined
Services Available at the Conference
