Raising awareness for chronic pain on national level

Following the official launch of the "Societal Impact of Pain - A Road Map for Action" on European level in the European Parliament on 4 May 2011, it is SIP's mission to raise awareness of the relevance of the impact that pain has on our societies, health and economic systems and to exchange information and share best-practices across all member states of the European Union. 

The following information shows EU-wide initiatives which are not related to any country or region.

At the Societal Impact of Pain (SIP) Symposium in May 2016, member of the European Parliament (MEP) Giovanni La Via declared: “I personally am promoting with colleagues a written declaration on chronic pain, because we believe access to treatment, continuing quality of care, innovation, and above all, fairness to elderly patients with chronic pain are still not guaranteed.”
