Global healthcare initiatives for pain management
Overview
Healthcare institutions in Portugal, Brazil, Chile, and Spain are implementing various strategies to improve pain management and patient care.
In Portugal, the ULS Lezíria held a community event for World Pain Day to address misconceptions regarding pain prevention and treatment. Clinical director Teresa Rodrigues highlighted the necessity of a multidisciplinary, person-centered approach to restore patient autonomy.
In Chile, the Hospital de Quilpué is utilizing a multidisciplinary team to address ‘total pain’, which includes physical, psychological, social, and spiritual dimensions, to support patients during hospital transitions. Meanwhile, in Spain, the Castilla-La Mancha Health Service is extending a ‘Best Practice Guide’ for pain assessment to standardize care across hospital, physiotherapy, and primary care levels.
In Brazil, the University of São Paulo has launched a two-year project to train health professionals to respond to the public health impacts of climate and environmental changes.
