Dr. Sharon Koivu: ‘Safe supply’ has only worsened the addiction crisis in London, Ont.

Since the program started in 2016, patient deaths and infections have shot up, and prescriptions have been diverted to the streets

I have been a practicing physician in Ontario for 39 years, the last 16 of which have been in London. I have served in many capacities, including having a family practice and working as an acting medical officer of health. Since 2012, I have worked in addiction medicine. I feel compelled to speak out about the harm “safe supply” is causing in my community.
