The 16th World Congress of Anaesthesiologists Conference 2016, Hong Kong – Reflection
Abstract
I and two other colleagues of mine attended the World Congress of Anaesthesiologists Conference as both paper presenters and as post graduate trainees of Shaukat Khanum memorial Cancer Hospital & Research Centre, Lahore. The 16th World Congress of Anaesthesiologists (WCA 2016) continued its successful international path by providing a scientific and networking platform in the exciting city of Hong Kong from 28 August to 2 September, 2016.
WCA 2016 is the premium event that ensures all areas of anaesthesiology and its sub-specialities are presented to a truly global audience, with over 9000 delegates attending the congress. The programme showcased the latest research and findings in anaesthesia, pain medicine and intensive care as well as delivered the benchmark for best practice.
The 7 day conference began with a warm welcome from the President of World Federation of Society of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA), Dr David Wilkinson, whom I met twice before in the 11th South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation – Association of Anaesthesiologists (SAARC-AA), Nepal and 13th International Conference on Anaesthesia, Pain & Intensive Care (Apicon), Pakistan.
