Multi-stakeholder views on Chronic Pain presented in the EU parliament
During the exhibition in the European Parliament, the Pain Patient Pathway Recommendations, the result of a pan-European survey spanning 18 countries, were presented to policy makers for the first time.
The exhibition in the European Parliament was closed by a reception including presentations of different perspectives on chronic pain expressed by the policy makers (MEP Petru Luhan), the patients (Joop van Griensven, Pain Alliance Europe), the health professionals (Prof. Giustino Varrassi), the scientists (Prof. Roberto Casale) and the industry (Jeanette Hübsch, Grünenthal).
“We have to join forces in the battle against the devastating social and economic effects of chronic pain in Europe”, states MEP Petru Luhan.
