As the undisputed pain relief leader in Morocco, Bottu is launching the PENAD (National Painkiller Excellence Award) to encourage and promote clinical research in this area. Organized in collaboration with 7 Moroccan medical associations*, this competition is open to resident doctors and integrated specialists working in the departments concerned within public, military and private university hospitals. The works in competition will be assessed by an ad hoc jury whose members will be appointed by the medical associations. The names of the winners will be announced at the next national congresses and the excellence awards rewarding the 3 best works will be awarded on the same occasion. Remember that in 2008, Bottu launched the PLAD (Pain Relief Award).
