October 16 is World Anaesthesia Day
World Anaesthesia Day is celebrated annually on October 16 to draw attention to the vital role that anesthesia plays in modern medical care. Additionally, it serves as a reminder to recognize the work of anesthesiologists, who are essential to making surgeries hassle-free.
This day not only acknowledges their vital role but also gives them credit for promoting advancements in anaesthesia practice, which improves healthcare operations. In 1846, Diethyl ether anaesthesia was successfully demonstrated for the first time in history.
World Anaesthesia Day honours the successful administration of the first anaesthesia and invites medical professionals worldwide to commemorate and celebrate this milestone.
The theme for the World Anaesthesia Day 2024 is "Workforce Well Being". It features the critical role anaesthesia plays in the treatment of cancer.
