Uniting Anaesthesiologists to Improve Patient Care and Access to Safe AnaesthesiaAnaesthesiology is the practice of medicine dedicated to the total care of the patient before, during and after surgery. Anaesthesiologists are also experts in resuscitation, pain management and intensive care.With a network of hundreds of thousands of anaesthesiologists in over 140 countries WFSA facilitates learning and promotes the highest standards of patient care around the world.Our Mission:To improve patient care, and access to safe anaesthesia, by uniting anaesthesiologists around the world.We deliver our mission through programmes that are implemented in partnership with National Societies of Anaesthesiology and other organisations that share our objectives. We work with the World Health Organisation (WHO), with governments, with other standard setters, with surgical organisations, with NGOs, with hospitals and with training centres and we welcome partnerships with organisations that support safe surgery and recognise that safe anaesthesia is an essential element of the same.Facts :11% of the global burden of disease could be treated by surgery. 85% of children in lower income countries are lively to have required surgical treatment by the time they are 15 years old.Around 5 billion people worldwide lack access to affordable surgical and anaesthetic care when they need it, most of these are in lower income countries. With more than 230 million major surgeries occurring annually around the world, the stakes are high.
