Dear friend, medical

A famous politician’s saying is that once you had an important event you already have created a tradition.

Chisinau, the capital of the republic of Moldova, hosted in August 2007 the first International Congress organized by the Moldovan Society of Anesthesiology and Reanimatology. More than 400 physicians took part to this event. Some 50 foreign speakers contributed to the success of the scientific program.

This was indeed a success, so significant that we decided to create a tradition and to have a similar international gathering every two years.

So, the next meeting is scheduled for August 2009.

We built up a list of new topics, each with a special interest to the anesthesia community. It reflects the fact that our profession is one with many faces.

This time we are interested to discuss matters of interest not only for our future patients, but also for ourselves, for our well being and for the future of Anesthesiology as a profession.

We do hope that the quality of presentations would be as good, if not even better, as of the first congress. The Moldovan anesthesia progressed immensely during the last few years and this is, in part, due to the assistance we got from our foreign friends and colleagues. All the rest remained as it was!

The well known Moldovan hospitality is there and is waiting for you. The wonderful landscape, the typical cuisine and the famous wine, from so many vineyards spread over all our country are here for you and your colleagues.

In the name of our Moldovan colleagues and of our International Advisory Committee we invite you to attend our next congress in August 2009 in our capital, Chisinau.

Dr. Serghei Sandru
President, Moldovan Society of Anesthesiology and Reanimatology
