Abstract
One of the most challenging and unresolved problems in modern oncology is the provision of medical care to incurable patients. Chronic pain syndrome is one of the most common phenomena causing severe and agonizing suffering to patients with malignant neoplasms.
As part of the implementation of the comprehensive national program for the development of palliative care in the Russian Federation (Order of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation and the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Russian Federation dated May 31, 2019, No. 345n/372n), the authors have developed a project for the establishment of a Pain Management Center at the Yakutsk Oncological Dispensary and pain management rooms at the Ambulatory Oncology Center (AOC).
The regulatory and legal framework has been studied, and a calculation of patients requiring adequate pain relief at the end of life for the year 2022 has been conducted. In this project, the relevance of the topic is demonstrated, and the medical and social significance is justified. A SWOT analysis of the project has been carried out, evaluating the main risks of the project and proposing methods to eliminate and minimize negative consequences.
