Comprehensive pain management is a
multidisciplinary effort where the Anaesthetist plays a lead role. It involves
individual assessment, analysis of pain and methods to provide relief. A
comprehensive pain management plan goes beyond the physical, psychological and
spiritual effects of pain. Anaesthesia is responsible for providing pain relief

of education and expertise. As a senior specialist anaesthetist with extensive

and internationally, Dr. Rowan Molnar
