World Anaesthesia Day
Dear Friends of the WFSA,
Today is World Anaesthesia Day, a day of unity among the global anaesthesia community and the day the WFSA will launch SAFETY: Safe Anaesthesia For Everybody - TodaY, a campaign raising awareness about the importance of safe anaesthesia and surgical care.
There are 5 billion people in the world today who do not have access to safe and affordable anaesthesia and surgery when needed. Safety is a vital part of strengthening anaesthesia and surgical care. Access on its own is not enough given the huge impact of unsafe surgery on individuals, communities and societies.
With this in mind, the WFSA is using World Anaesthesia Day to launch a the SAFETY Campaign on social media. We are asking our members and supporters to print this banner, write their location, take a photograph and post it on social media.
There are already hundreds of anaesthesia providers and medical staff taking part, see there photos here!
We will follow the hashtags #WorldAnaesthesiaDay and #SAFETY as anaesthesia practitioners unite around the world!
For more information on the campaign, please visit our advocacy page.
