World Anaesthesia Day: Doctors call for better equipment, funding

World Anaesthesia Day, observed annually on October 16, is marked by doctors calling for better anaesthesia services, equipment, and funding. The theme for this year's celebration is "Before, During and Beyond Surgery." Anaesthesiologists stress the importance of safe surgery, which relies on thorough preoperative assessment, adequate perioperative care, and continuous monitoring during procedures.

They urge the government to invest in essential equipment and support specialists who ensure patient safety before, during, and after surgery.
