EU Report Patient's Right to avoid unnecessary suffering and pain
The Partnership, consisting of PAE (Pain Alliance Europe), ACN (Active Citizenship Network) and Grünenthal held a civic survey with the goal to identify guidelines and recommendations against pain on national and European level, starting from patients' experiences. The civic survey is a first attempt in which a widespread coalition of patients and citizen organizations represents the point of view of patients in the European policies on pain. The first deals primarily with chronic pain and the right not to suffer, the second, more generally, with health policies and the protection of patients.
