- Disseminate information worldwide about pain after surgery
- Educate pain researchers as well as health-care professionals who see the issues associated with such pain first hand in their interactions with patients
- Increase awareness of postsurgical pain among public officials, members of the media, and the general public
- Encourage government leaders, healthcare organizations, and others to support policies that result in improved management of pain after surgery."
