In our Primary Health Care family doctors are the essential pillar in preventive work and confrontation with the dependencies that are diagnosed. A multidisciplinary and intersectorial approach is necessary that includes the regulation of the production, marketing, propaganda, consumption and utilization of health resources necessary for the fight against alcoholism.
