- Abstract
The article describes a new (in force since May 2017) right of Polish patients — the right to pain treatment. It is an analysis referring to regulations to do with access to pain treatment in inpatient, outpatient and home care. The deliberations on the problem of the right to pain treatment are based on Polish and international regulations as well as the available case law. The authors focus on the access to medicinal products containing drugs since the fear of the possible development of addiction during the use of opioid analgesia is one of the barriers to proper pain treatment.
