Treat the Pain
From their website : "The disparities in access to pain treatment worldwide are staggering. Cancer deaths are expected to double by 2030 and many of those deaths will be in developing countries with little to no access to adequate pain treatment. Through the Treat the Pain campaign, we are advocating for effective pain control measures to be available to all cancer patients in pain. We invite you to join us in helping stop unnecessary suffering worldwide."
The initiative includes short videos from the LIFE Before Death Documentary Series that are meant to be shared in effort to spread the word and "treat the pain" of this global problem.
