Objective: For the progress and endurance of the nation, appropriate healthcare and education systems are
essential. In developing countries like Pakistan, a large number of patients suffering from painful conditions do not
have access to pain treatment due to lack of Pain services. The aim of the project was to devise courses
surrounding basic education related to pain management.
Methods: A group of 6 anaesthesia faculty members of Aga Khan University was formulated to design the
courses to be conducted in the leading teaching hospitals of Pakistan. There were four educational courses, of 15
hours contact time and were delivered over a period of 1 year. The participants were nurses, general practitioners,
anaesthesia trainees and anaesthesia consultants from eight leading teaching hospitals.
