All Africa Anesthesia Congress 2022

The All Africa Anesthesia Congress (AAAC) is hosted every two years by the African Regional Section (ARS) of World Federation of Societies of Anesthesiologists (WFSA) and a member national society. Rwanda has been selected to host the first Congress since 2019. The AAAC provides an international venue for promoting the best of clinical care, research and education and for building professional relationships in the field of anesthesiology. In addition to a broad scientific program, the meeting hosts a Health Care Industry (HCI) Exhibition and various social events, including a conference dinner, accompanying persons program and opening and closing ceremonies. Industry support is expected to mitigate costs but as many registrants will be from less economically developed countries, cost containment and careful financial stewardship will be necessary. Attracting delegates from 54+ countries, the AAAC is unique in terms of global reach and diversity, offering an outstanding scientific and social experience for all who attend. The Rwanda Society of Anesthesiologists (RSA) anticipates that the AAAC 2022 could attract 1,000 to 2,000 delegates. These figures are an estimate based on past attendances at similar anaesthetic meetings.
