Global Humanitarian Outreach
There is an anesthesia crisis in low-income countries around the world. Most of them have fewer than 1 physician per 10,000 people and fewer than 1 anesthesiologist per 100,000 people. Improving patient safety in low-income countries through education and support of the Lifebox Initiative is a GHO priority. For the next 5 years, the ASA through GHO is committed to providing Lifeboxs and the related education and training to Central America.

Their mission is to increase access to safe anaesthesia around the world and improve patient outcomes. The ASA is a valued member of the WFSA and the largest Member Society. ASA members contribute to WFSA leadership and the delivery programs as key members of our Board, Council and Committees.
