Presentations and Old Business 3.1. Access to Medically Supervised Injection Services in Edmonton Zone A delegation from Access to Medically Supervised Injection Services Edmonton (AMSISE) provided the following: Community, medical, academic, and public sector representatives have been meeting as AMSISE since 2012 to investigate the need and the feasibility of adding medically supervised injection to the spectrum of harm reduction services in Edmonton, as both a public health and public safety strategy. Medically supervised injection is solidly aligned with AHS Strategic Directions and Health and Business Plan. It

2 closely aligns with the AHS Harm Reduction and Substance Use Policy that specifically names supervised injection as an example of harm reduction. The focus is on people with severe and chronic addictions, usually homeless whose chaotic and furtive drug injection use takes place in unsafe environments. The services will be provided by and in three agencies who are already working with this population. This service will be provided 24/7 by the three agencies. AHS and Alberta Health have been partners in the developmental process from the beginning of AMSISE. AMSISE is seeing support in principle and commitment to find the addition of medically supervised injection services as a public health and public safety initiative. AHS Edmonton Zone Executive Leadership has already written a letter of support for this service in Edmonton Zone. One of the goals of AMSISE is to dispel the myth that offering people supervised injection services will encourage people to experiment with and use drugs. Medical Evidence: Injection in public is associated with a major increase in the known risks of injection drugs used including overdose, transmission of Hep C and HIV, and bacterial infections. Clean, safe places for injections dramatically reduce those risks and provide opportunity to engage people who use drugs in care. Chances of treatment and rehabilitation of drug users is higher. Council to write a letter of support for AMSISE to AHS and to AH. Council was provided with material which provides further background on the proposed program. 2 P a g e
