Overview :
The World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA) 19th World Congress of Anaesthesiologists 2026 delivers a comprehensive global perspective on the evolution, innovation, and current challenges in modern anaesthesia and perioperative medicine.
Bringing together anaesthesiologists, critical care physicians, pain specialists, and perioperative professionals from more than 130 countries, this premier international congress explores the latest advances across airway management, critical care, obstetric and pediatric anaesthesia, neuroanaesthesia, perioperative medicine, artificial intelligence, patient safety, sustainability, and global healthcare delivery.
Set in Marrakech, Morocco, the congress provides an immersive educational experience featuring evidence-based lectures, multidisciplinary discussions, research presentations, and practical clinical insights designed to improve patient outcomes and advance global collaboration in anaesthesia care.
The program highlights emerging technologies, AI-driven clinical applications, innovations in ventilation and monitoring, perioperative optimization strategies, and evolving approaches to education, leadership, and workforce development in anaesthesiology.
