Unbearable Pain: India's Obligation to Ensure Palliative Care

The Human Rights Watch organization has written this report, which talks about the difficulties faced by patients in major cancer hospitals across India. Released in October 2009, this 102-page report takes an investigative look into the pain treatment situation in these hospitals. The report identifies three key obstacles to improving the availability of pain treatment and palliative care, including restrictive drug regulations and the failure to train doctors about pain treatment methods. Visitors will find that the report is divided into several major sections including "Palliative Care and Pain Treatment in India" and "The Plight of Patients". Additionally, interested parties can also view the appendices attached to the report. An online slide show and a video feature round out the site.
