First of all, I would like to thank Dr . Zilberman for the kind introduction. I am Dr. Phan Thuy Chi, secretary of the Vietnamese Society of Anesthesiology; I work under the supervision of Dr Vu.

As Dr. Zilberman has mentioned, we are now preparing for the 22nd ASEAN congress of anesthesiologists. It is a congress of ten different countries in the southeast of Asia held in different countries and this time is in Vietnam. The congress normally attracts thousands of participants. There was one time it exceeded 2500 participants. Therefore, the knowledge that will be shared will be useful for many people. We would like to ask you if you are interested in joining with us these days.

The date is fixed now at 18 – 19 Mars 2022. It will go virtually or hybrid depended on the evolution of COVID -19 pandemic and the immigration regulation at this time.

The theme of the congress is “ connect to share in anesthesia’. Because we feel that, with the pandemic, the less developed countries were left behind. We pay many of our resources to fight with COVID, but these other health problems always need to be cared and we need to perform better care. We hope that the congress will help us regain the knowledge that we may have missed for the last two years.

The congress will include 5 sections:

1. Anesthesia and airway management

2. Critical care and cardiopulmonary resuscitation

3. Regional anesthesia and pain management

4. Obstetrics and Pediatrics anesthesia

5. Anesthesia and COVId-19 pandemic.

Could you make consideration of joining with us these days? 

I am looking forward to receiving your answer, and I am willing to provide any further information.

Sincerely,
