50 Years of Elevating Anesthesia: Let's Reach New Peaks Together
Embarking on a momentous journey, our department is fueled by the enthusiasm emanating from the celebration of our 50th anniversary. This milestone is not merely a reflection of the past; rather, it serves as a springboard for a visionary initiative — a development campaign designed to shape the trajectory of anesthesia for the next 50 years.
