In June and July 2001, Dr. Nell Muirden traveled from Melbourne, Australia to Port Moresby General Hospital and Angau Memorial Hospital located in Lae, in Papua New Guinea. This visit was supported through an International Association for Hospice and Palliative Care Traveling Fellowship. Dr. Muirden's visit greatly increased awareness about cancer pain and the importance of palliative care and pain relief in cancer and other terminally ill patients. She developed a discussion paper relating to the drugs needed for palliative care and the changes that should be made. The Pharmaceutical Advisory Committee subsequently adopted these recommendations, which will lead to a better range of medications to treat pain becoming available throughout Papua New Guinea.
2001年6月和7月，内尔·米尔登博士从澳大利亚墨尔本前往位于巴布亚新几内亚莱城的莫尔斯比港总医院和安高纪念医院。此次访问得到了国际临终关怀与姑息治疗协会旅行奖学金的支持。米尔登博士的访问极大地提高了人们对癌症疼痛以及姑息治疗和缓解癌症及其他绝症患者疼痛的重要性的认识。她撰写了一份关于姑息治疗所需药物及应做出的改变的讨论文件。制药咨询委员会随后采纳了这些建议，这将使巴布亚新几内亚各地有更多种类的药物可用于治疗疼痛。
