Welcome to the 30th Annual Congress & 23rd French Symposium in Anesthesia, Critical Care & Pain Management, proudly hosted by our LSA!

Under the patronage of the Ministry of Health and the Lebanese Order of Physicians, this year’s conference stands as a testament to our unwavering commitment to the pursuit of knowledge, even in the face of adversities.

Our program offers a diverse range of captivating topics and workshops, led by both national and internationally renowned guest speakers who generously share their insights and expertise with us. In response to the current situation, we have adapted our approach, ensuring that many of the lectures are enriched with insights on managing critical situations, particularly those pertaining to ICU, Patient Blood Management, leadership, airway management, and more. The opening session will feature an address from the Ministry of Health concerning the national preparedness plan, followed by a roundtable discussion with experienced anesthesiologists on their hospitals’ readiness for emergencies.

We would like to express our gratitude for the unwavering support of the World Federation of Societies of Anesthesiologists (WFSA), the Pan Arab Federation of Societies of Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Pain Management (PAFSA), and the French Society of Anesthesia & Intensive Care Medicine (SFAR).

We are eager to host you and look forward to vibrant discussions, networking opportunities, and the sharing of invaluable insights. Your presence serves as a testament to our shared resilience and our dedication to advancing our noble profession.

On behalf of the LSA Board and the Scientific Committee,

Vanda Abi Raad
President, Lebanese Society of Anesthesiologists
