Description Pain is valued in healthcare as a primary indicator of a patients health status. The U.S. consumes approximately 700mg of morphine equivalence per capita. Comparatively, Ghana uses approximately 0.152mg per capita. With such a difference of opioid usage, we sought to better understand the perception and management of pain in Ghana.
