Poison Information Centers

Poison Information Centers are specialized healthcare services that provide immediate expert advice on handling poisoning or overdose incidents. They are staffed by trained medical professionals who guide callers—whether individuals, healthcare providers, or emergency responders—on how to manage exposure to harmful substances like chemicals, medicines, or plants. These centers also offer prevention information and can assist in assessing the severity of poisoning cases. Their goal is to help minimize health risks, ensure appropriate treatment, and provide reassurance during poisoning emergencies, functioning as a vital resource in public health safety.
