Is there anything worse than a human being suffering intolerable pain?
Yes - a human being suffering unnecessary intolerable pain.
80% of the world’s population is denied access to morphine – while 20% consume almost all of it. It is hard to think of a greater injustice that has largely arisen from the misunderstanding and fear of international drug policy. This is why IDHDP is launching its campaign: “Striving for equity in the treatment of pain”.
IDHDP is currently making a short film and other resources that will be ready very soon for you to use in local events.
