WHO estimates that 5.5 billion people (83% of the world's population) live in countries with low to non-existent access to controlled medicines and has inadequate access to treatment for moderate to severe pain. It said 1 million patients with end-stage AIDS, 5.5 million with cancer, 0.8 million with injuries caused by accidents and violence and 110 million women in labour pain suffer each year from inadequate pain treatment.
