Former Health Commissioner and current MEP @V_Andriukaitis speaking passionately about the lack of ambition from the current Commission on health policy @SIP_PainPolicy@EFIC_org
@ApsigI@SIP_PainPolicy@EFIC_org@pain_europe Big roll out coming! There will be a lot more. Posters available in Lyon but a lot of digital materials to be shared in coming weeks
@MaryOKeeffe007@EFIC_org@IASPpain Nice to see @EFIC_org’s work in launching the European Week Against Pain acknowledged in @IASPpain’s 50 year anniversary timeline. Credit to the late David Niv for launching the first major pain advocacy project in Europe @SIP_PainPolicy
@NathanS_VR @FeliciaJCox@vonderleyen@EU_Commission See my quote tweet. Indeed, mentioned only once, but that is still massive considering the very narrow scope for what the Commission President normally prioritises as health topics. It has never happened before as far as I am aware.
Amazingly, the Commission President DOES refer to pain medicines in her plan for the next 5 years! Most likely she is referring to access to basic generics in the context of health crises, but @EFIC_org is keen to be involved to offer expert advice on access to pain treatment.
Without looking, take a guess - President @vonderleyen issued a 5-year plan for her next term as head of the @EU_Commission - did she mention pain medicines in this plan?
