Action Alliance Pain Free City of Münster
The Pain Free City of Munster Action Alliance was originally a three-year research project in Munster , in which the reality of care in a municipality is examined for the first time . In terms of type and size, the concept is unique worldwide. The world's largest patient survey was to be carried out, with the aim of improving care for pain patients . The project began in March 2010 and was supported by an alliance - supported by the city of Münster, the state of Salzburg and 15 other cooperation partners . The director was Professor Jürgen Osterbrink from the Paracelsus Medical Private University in Salzburg .
On January 13, 2011, the then parliamentary state secretary in the Federal Ministry of Health, Daniel Bahr, took over the patronage of the project.
The project sponsor, in addition to the city of Münster and the state of Salzburg, was the pharmaceutical company Mundipharma . As a sister company of the now insolvent US pharmaceutical giant Purdue Pharma , it sold the pain reliever Oxygesic in Germany . This drug was available in the US under the brand name Oxycontin , where it is held responsible for the opioid crisis .
The project was completed in 2015.
