PRESIDENT, ISA Bangalore
Warm greetings,
At the outset, I express my sincere thanks to ‘ISA Bengaluru metro branch’ office bearers and esteemed members for electing me to the post of ‘PRESIDENT’ for the year 2024-25 and indeed it is a great honour to represent the Bangalore metro branch. I hope to continue the good work and fulfil the responsibilities given to me.
The field of anaesthesiology has evolved in terms of newer drugs, newer techniques, newer gadgets, and advancement in technologies and artificial intelligence coming into the practice of anaesthesiology in the last century. The practice of anaesthesia has spread beyond the four walls of the operating theatre into ICU, Pain management and palliative care, cancer care, hospital infection committee and hospital management.
Then came the COVID-19 pandemic across the world which caused a lot of morbidities and mortalities both for the general public and the medical fraternity. During this time the anaesthesiologists worked tirelessly in treating patients in ICU and have saved millions of lives. My heartfelt condolences to bereaved families of medical fraternity especially anaesthesiologists and intensivists. We became the heroes amongst the general public and the public came to know the role of an anaesthesiologist.
Hence our aim is to deliver safe anaesthesia, adequate pain relief during and after surgery, early mobilisation and faster recovery so that better outcome of many surgical procedures would be possible.
Last but not the least, we should uphold the tradition and dignity of our profession and light the lives of many individuals and save humanity.
Long live ISA...
JAI HIND, JAI KARNATAKA.
