Beyond the OT – The Anaesthetists’ Well-Being
The ISA Nagpur City Branch successfully conducted its final webinar of the academic series on 27th August 2026, with the theme “Beyond the OT – The Anaesthetists’ Well-Being.”
The first session, “Mental Health of Anaesthesiologists: Breaking Stigma, Seeking Help,” was delivered by Dr. Sushil Gawande. He addressed the often-overlooked emotional and psychological challenges faced by anaesthesiologists and emphasised the importance of breaking the stigma around mental health.
