Welcome to WFSA Webnar:”Anaesthesiology in Health Emergencies: Essential Emergency and Critical Care”
14 January 2025
8.30pm IST / 4pm CET / 3pm GMT / 10am EST / 9am CST
Anaesthesiologists play a vital role in managing critically ill patients during health emergencies. Essential Emergency and Critical Care (EECC) represents a core set of interventions that can be delivered to all critically ill patients, regardless of resources. As global efforts to strengthen health systems grow, EECC remains central to providing life-saving care in emergencies.
Healthcare Emergencies is the WFSA’s 2025 annual theme, and this webinar marks the start of a dedicated series. It will provide an overview of EECC, its implementation across different settings, and its specific importance to anaesthesiologists.
This webinar is open to all, so please share this invitation with colleagues who may be interested.
