Controlling the pain or providing Pain Comfort is not essential, really?
When will healthcare make a priority and essential need to manage the pain?
Refusal of getting necessary medical care may become a habit due to fear of pain.

They think providing comfort is not an essential need; it can wait!! Have they ever thought about what will be effects of pain later in life? The repeated painful procedures in early childhood without the benefit of treatment represent a risk factor for developing high levels of needle fear.
Quality of life is increasingly being recognized as one of the most important parameters to be measured in evaluating medical, including those for pain management.
