World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists ®
WFSA Newsletter: Welcome from the WFSA Honorary Secretary
Dr Gonzalo Barreiro
Welcome to the new WFSA eNewsletter!
Usually at these
dates the secretary, on behalf of the WFSA, sends a message to all the
affiliated societies. For some of us this represents the end of a year,
which could not be the case for others, but the important thing is to be
communicated.
This year I have chosen the title
“together”, because it is a very important word for the human being.
From our ancestors we learned that together they could do more that
being isolated, and that if a group of human beings feel to be part of a
group and they have clear goals, most likely they will accomplish a lot
of things.
That’s what the WFSA is about: to feel united
due to the only fact that we are anesthesiologists, regardless of skin
color, race or religion, which unfortunately are often used to separate
the human beings, rather to put them together. It must be clear that our
goal is the solidarity with our colleagues in need, those living “at
the other side of the river”. It must be also clear that financial
contributions or others, even if they seem small, can make the
difference. And at last it must be clear the key role of the multiplying
effect of education and that people can only be free through it. This
is why this message from the WFSA has “together” as its title.

This year the WFSA Scientific Committee will continue for the third year a programme of research scholarships. These grants will be provided to young researchers from less affluent countries to help them to travel to a foreign country to study and learn in a research programme. The recipient will have to develop a research project in a Department or a Laboratory of Anaesthesiology for a period of six months to one year, with a final goal of publishing an original paper in an indexed journal.
