‘’Ask to Kill the Pain’’
Tbilisi. As part of the campaign "Let's Live
Without Pain", since 1 September 2012 the Ministry of Healthcare obligates
medical institutions to apply modern standards of pain management. In case of
non-fulfillment of the protocol, a doctor may be fined in the amount of 200
GEL.
The
campaign "Let's Live Without Pain" was launched in Georgia since 2011
and it aims on one hand to support the introduction of pain management
standards in the country, and on the other hand to inform the patients on the
pain management services.
Under
international regulations, non-killing of pain equals to torture.
