WFSA Book and Journal Donation Scheme

Many Anaesthesiologists in poorer parts of the world work without access to modern books or journals. In contrast many other Anaesthesiologists have access to considerable amounts of educational material which is used for a short time and then discarded. If Anaesthesiologists in one part of the world sent their books and journals to colleagues overseas, we could do much to reduce this imbalance.

The WFSA Publications Committee wishes to put Anaesthesiologists who are willing to donate books or journals in touch with Anaesthesiologists in developing countries who have requested this type of assistance.

• Donors who are willing to send (by surface mail) current journals and/or recent textbooks (published after the year 2000) to Anaesthesiology departments in the developing world should send an email to the address below with details of what you wish to donate.

• If your department would like to receive books or journals please email or write to us and we shall do our best to help. Please give details of yourself, size of hospital and department, how many anaesthesiologists work in your department and which books or journals you have available.
