100% of witnessed opioid overdoses could possibly be reversed with naloxone to save a life.

The World Health Organization is targeting to achieve a 90% naloxone carriage rate for those trained and given naloxone.3

Number of lives [overdose deaths] in 2021 that potentially could have been saved with naloxone.2*

40% of opioid overdoses are witnessed or discovered in time for naloxone to be effective.1

In 2020, researchers in Baltimore found only a 9% naloxone carriage rate in a group of people who inject drugs.4

What is NALCAM?

NALCAM is an app that helps save lives! 

NALCAM trains individuals on how to use naloxone, then encourages them with daily incentives for a duration of time to carry this lifesaving medication with them. This helps individuals create a habit of carrying naloxone every day.
