Abstract
The International Association for the Study of Pain (IASP), founded in 1972, is a non-governmental organization (NGO) and has an official relationship with the World Health Organization (WHO). IASP and individual IASP members have collaborated with WHO for more than two decades in improved understanding of pain and promoting better availability of pain therapy world wide. The first WHOIASP liaison-officer was Dr. Kathleen Foley. She has had a major impact on the WHO cancer pain and palliative care programs and was one of the driving forces for the expert groups that developed WHO publications and educational resources, such as the booklet WHO Cancer Pain Relief, published in 1986. 1–4
