Invitation of the Organizing Committee It is my privilege to introduce SAARC Association of Anaesthesiologists (formerly SACA) and invite you to its 8th Congress, to be held in Karachi, Pakistan from 5th – 8th February 2009. SAARCAA’s main initiation was intended as a means of endorsing scientific and cultural diversity and similarities between its member countries, in order to promote an atmosphere where clinicians could learn from each other’s clinical experience in the fields of anaesthesiology. The theme of this congress is “The Expanding Role of Anaesthesiologists” , which has already widened to include critical care, pain management, trauma, resuscitation and the redefined role of anaesthesiologists as perioperative physicians. Our theme and emblem depict the open chains on either side symbolizing room for further expansion. This congress is held every two years, and it is my pleasure to Invite you to this 8th Congress in February 2009, Such moots are always a source of inspiration to our younger colleagues, and contribute enormously to the uplift of the specialty. Global trends and recent advancements are in this way propagated among fellow anaesthesiologists. With this perspective in mind, it would indeed be a matter of immense pleasure if you join hands with us in achieving these objectives and accept our invitation to participate in this congress. Pakistan, the host of the 3rd SACA Congress in 1997, is waiting avidly to offer you a second taste of its fecund cultural heritage 12 years later, by hosting the 8th SAARCAA Congress in 2009. Weather in February in pleasant.
