WELCOME TO THE PAN AFRICAN NURSE ANESTHETISTS CONFERENCE
The First Pan African Nurse Anesthetist Conference hopes to bring together nurse anesthetists, anesthesia providers, policy makers, and representatives from international agencies, non-governmental organizations, pharmaceutical & equipment manufacturers, and donors to focus on strengthening quality life-saving anesthesia care for pregnant women. The three-day event hopes to put the spotlight on key issues including availability, accessibility, acceptability and quality of anesthesia care for the most vulnerable and under-served population.
