The present study has revealed a tendency toward a decrease in the frequency of cases of fatal outcomes of drug intoxication throughout the Almaty region during the 5 year period from 2007 till 2011 years. It is concluded that this positive trend is attributable to the improved quality of preventive measures undertaken by public healthcare services and law enforcement authorities in the Republic of Kazakhstan.
