Education & Conferences:
In 2017, we helped start the Bachelors of Science in Anesthesia, with 24 students admitted. Currently there’s 40 students who have been admitted.
We successfully run our annual scientific conference on the 9 – 10 of November 2017, bringing together up to 83 recorded delegates and also participated in the All Africa Anesthesia Congress in Abuja with a delegation of 5 people, where one of our members, Dr. Fred Bulamba was voted onto the ARS board.
Research:
We developed and started data collection on countrywide anesthesia capacity survey, with 40% of data collected. We adapted our tool from the current WFSA one. We engaged with the Ministry of Health to lobby for scholarships for all different cadres of anesthesia programs and trainees.
