As part of the World Anaesthesia Day Week celebrations, an educational lecture on perioperative anaesthesia care was conducted on 17 October 2026 for paramedical personnel and students.

Dr Prachi Wankhade delivered the lecture, highlighting the importance of perioperative anaesthesia care in supporting patient safety and ensuring effective care throughout the surgical journey. The session witnessed enthusiastic participation, with approximately 200 paramedical personnel and students attending.

Understanding Perioperative Anaesthesia Care

Perioperative care encompasses the stages before, during, and after surgery. Anaesthesia care plays a vital role in assessing patients before procedures, monitoring their condition during surgery, managing pain, and supporting recovery.

The lecture provided an educational opportunity for participants to understand the importance of coordinated teamwork, careful patient monitoring, and effective communication among healthcare professionals.

Promoting Knowledge and Patient Safety

The session formed part of the broader educational activities organised during World Anaesthesia Day Week. By addressing essential aspects of perioperative care, the programme aimed to strengthen awareness among paramedical personnel and students about their roles in supporting safe surgical care.

The participation of approximately 200 attendees reflected the importance of continuing education and collaborative learning in healthcare.

Through these educational initiatives, the World Anaesthesia Day Week programme continued to promote anaesthesia awareness, professional development, and a shared commitment to patient safety.
