Abstract EN

Opioids remain essential drugs for the treatment of severe cancerous pain.

However, many countries have developed new regulations and policies for a better availability and accessibility of these drugs.

Lebanon is not too far from these advanced strategies.

The Ministry of Health and specifically the Narcotic Department have adjusted regulations related to opioid prescriptions and have registered many new opioid drugs in 2012 for a better pain-free life for our patients.

However, there is still a lot to do in this field.
