Please Sign the Declaration of Montréal
The International Association for Study of Pain (IASP) had organized a “Global Pain Summit” on 3 October 2010 at Montreal, Canada. The chairman of Pallium India was a member of its steering committee.
The summit had announced “The Montreal Declaration“, which has now been accepted by the IASP council. Essentially, the document declares access to pain relief as a human right, and spells out the components of that right.
You can view the declaration at the IASP website and sign the declaration either as an individual or on behalf of an organization.
pain can better b explained by a person who suffers it…..
let us all support this cause…to serve humanity in pain.
The worst thing one can have in his life-time is pain. We all fear death because we think it is painful. If we can not save someone, we must at least ensure that he/ she does not suffer from pain. Wide availability of narcotics is therefore so important in any part of the world. I hope that the day is not too far off when everyone will have good access to Palliative care, where along with alleviation of many other symptoms, pain management gets the priority.
when you are treating the pain always think of total pain
Dear Dr Sreenivasa Rao

PAIN IS NOT A TOPIC FOR PERSONAL PENITENCE hence solace for pain stricken fellow beings is an act of realizing one self.to relieveve them from pain nevr a charity or help but is a liability of those who are free from the same for the time being………………..
