Dynasties
As we marked 70 years of WFSA in 2025, we celebrate the people who have shaped anaesthesia across generations. ‘Dynasties’ highlights families from around the world where two or more relatives have chosen anaesthesia as their profession. Together, they reflect the strength of our global anaesthesia community and how its values are passed on, practiced, and sustained over time.
