BACKGROUND
This year the AAU/ICSU will hold its 10th annual conference. The AAU/ ICSU conference is a joint annual event organized by the Association of Anesthesiologists of Uganda (AAU) and the Intensive Care Society of Uganda (ICSU). It has been held annually since 2015 except in 2020 when it was cancelled due to the Covid-19 pandemic. The conference unites stakeholders, anaesthesia and critical care providers of different cadres and other healthcare professionals whose common goal is fostering growth in anaesthesia and critical care in limited-resource settings with the available and affordable resources. This provides avenues for networking as well as potential future collaborations and innovations.
This year's conference comes after global advocacy for Safe Anaesthesia and Critical Care Practices. Achieving Safe accessible anaesthesia and Critical services through universal health coverage has been one of the priorities of a number of the stakeholders in Uganda. Anaesthesia providers have pioneered many system-based initiatives to reduce avoidable harm to patients, largely through addressing the problem of human error. We believe that education in patient safety will empower all stakeholders to contribute with their share to ensure that no patient is harmed when they trust us to safeguard their life and health when they are at their most vulnerable during our care.
The conference will run from 6th to 9th November 2024 and is themed AAU/ICSU at 10 years: Milestones, Challenges and Opportunities in Anesthesiaand Critical Care in Uganda.
