Celebrate World Anaesthesia Day online with WFSA on 16th October – Resuscitation Saves Lives

In 2018, nearly 700 of you sent us photos of how you were celebrating World Anaesthesia Day – this year we want to outshine that number!

We are asking anaesthesiologists around the world to take part in World Anaesthesia Day campaign on the 16th October to showcase the role of anaesthesiologists in resuscitation.

On the day – 16th October 2019

This year, the WFSA is joining with the International Liaison Committee on Resuscitation (ILCOR), the European Resuscitation Council and their World Restart a Heart Day campaign, to raise awareness about the crucial role of anaesthesiologists in resuscitation. 

The WHO-WFSA International Standards for a Safe Practice of Anesthesiahighly recommend that emergency resuscitation medication must be immediately available as well as other resuscitation equipment.
