CNP Foundation: Agir pour la santé

ACTIVE CHARITY WORK IN THE HEALTH FIELD
 
Since 1988, CNP Assurances, the leading personal insurer in France, has been committed to solidarity through charity to promote health. The Company supports progress in prevention, medical research and patient management, working towards a more humane and more accessible medicine.

Since 1999, the CNP Foundation, with an annual budget of FRF 3.5 million, focuses all its operations on the fight against pain.

Through providing a grant for the creation of the DOLOPLUS Internet site, the Foundation wishes to facilitate the widest international circulation and use of the DOLOPLUS scale, and thus contribute to enhanced assessment of pain in non-communicative elderly subjects with a view to better relieving it.
