Message From the President

​Greetings to All,
NASP was established in the year 2073 BS (2016 AD) with a vision to address the pressing issue of pain management in Nepal. Pain is a universal human experience, and yet, it often goes unnoticed or inadequately managed. Our journey over the years has been dedicated to changing this narrative and bringing relief to those who suffer from chronic pain.
Our primary areas of focus include:
Improvement of Pain Education: We firmly believe that education is the cornerstone of progress. NASP is committed to enhancing the knowledge and skills of healthcare professionals, researchers, psychologists, and physical therapists in the field of pain management. Through workshops, seminars, conferences, and collaborative initiatives, we aim to provide a platform for the exchange of knowledge and ideas, ensuring that we remain at the forefront of pain education.
Raising Awareness about the Importance of Pain Management: It is our duty to advocate for those who endure chronic pain silently. NASP strives to raise awareness among policymakers, healthcare providers, and the general public about the significance of proper pain management. By doing so, we hope to bridge the gap between those in need and the care they deserve.
Expanding Pain Services: Access to comprehensive pain management services is a fundamental right. NASP is dedicated to working with healthcare institutions, both public and private, to establish dedicated pain clinics and units across Nepal. We aim to make pain management more accessible and affordable to individuals from all walks of life.
We invite you to explore our website to learn more about our initiatives, events, and resources. Whether you are a healthcare professional, researcher, patient, or simply someone interested in our cause, we encourage you to get involved and support our mission. Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of countless individuals who grapple with pain daily.
Thank you for visiting NASP's website, and we look forward to your continued support and engagement.
Warm regards,
Renu Gurung
