World Health Days

One of the objectives of the European Pain Federation EFIC is to advance the understanding and knowledge of pain mechanisms, pain characteristics, diagnosis of pain conditions, the impact of pain on the individual and on society, and the management of pain. EFIC hopes to achieve this objective through raising awareness of the importance of pain, including its management, treatment and prevention, amongst patients and the general public and campaigning to improve policies that affect pain and to increase funding for pain in public research programs.

World Health Days are meant to call the attention of the public on important health issues. For many of them, readers can find important resources pertaining to pain management and pain research below.
