„În România, se consideră că e normal să ai dureri, dacă ești în spital. Nu e”. Un medic român își tratează pacienții ca în Elveția și și-ar dori această nouă regulă

In Romania, pain management in hospitals is inadequate despite a law granting patients the right to pain therapy. Dr. Eugen Oleineac leads a project to change this perception and improve care. The 'Hospital without Pain' initiative aims to integrate pain management into public healthcare, emphasizing that pain should be treated as a vital sign. Currently, pain therapy is only available in private healthcare, and the lack of implementation norms hinders access. Oleineac advocates for a cultural shift in how pain is perceived by both medical staff and patients, aiming to normalize the request for pain relief.
