Dear Friends and Colleagues,

It is our great pleasure to welcome you to the “13th Pan Arab Congress of Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Pain Management”, organized by the Pan Arab Federation of Societies of Anesthesia, Intensive Care and Pain Management, in collaboration with the Lebanese Society of Anesthesiologists and the World Federation of Societies of Anesthesiologists.

The objective of this virtual congress is to explore new horizons in the fields of Anesthesia, Intensive Care, and Pain Management. The program includes presentations provided by internationally renowed experts, offering new insights into the evolving challenges of our specialty, with a focus on Trauma and Disaster Management, Enhanced Recovery After Surgery, Neuroanesthesia, Hemostasis, Obstetric Anesthesia, Safety and many other hot topics.

Despite all the challenges we are facing in our beloved Lebanon, from the current COVID-19 pandemic to the economic crisis, we were keen to respect our commitment and offer this unique opportunity that helps shaping the future of our specialty. We are confident that this scientific gathering will serve as an excellent networking platform to exchange professional experiences and insights between anesthesiologists.

We are grateful and thankful to all our distinguished speakers who accepted without hesitation, our invitation to participate in this meeting. We would like also to thank the organizing and scientific committees for their countless efforts and dedication in establishing a comprehensive program. Finally, we express our thanks to the pharmaceutical and manufacturing industries for their generous support as well as to our dedicated staff, colleagues, and friends for their untiring help, support, and advice in planning and arranging this virtual meeting.

We hope you will enjoy the congress and that the interaction with colleagues from different countries will stimulate a creative exchange of ideas and be personally rewarding.

This event will be held on May 22, 2021 through Live Webinar Sessions via a Zoom Platform.

Looking forward to meeting you all virtually,
