Dear Members of SAN and Colleagues

It is with great honor and humility that I address you as the President of our esteemed Anesthesia Society. As I step into my term as president, I am humbled by the opportunity to serve such an extraordinary community. Our society is more than an organization; it is a movement driven by the shared goal of enhancing patient care and advancing the science and practice of anesthesiology. Over the past several years, our society has faced both challenges and opportunities. The dedication of all the members in serving the community—whether in operating rooms, critical care units, or academic settings—continues to inspire and uplift our society. Your passion, expertise, and commitment are what make our society a leader in advancing the field of anesthesiology. I look forward to working with all of you to build on our successes and address the challenges that lie ahead. Thank you for placing your trust in me. Together, we will achieve great things. Together, let us envision a future where every patient receives optimum care and where our profession thrives as a beacon of excellence. I am excited about the journey ahead and am grateful to have you all as partners in this mission.

 I encourage each of you to get involved—whether by participating in our educational programs, contributing to our research initiatives, or mentoring the next generation of anesthesiologists. Let us join hands to make a lasting impact on our field and the lives of those we serve.

As we advance, let us reaffirm our commitment to excellence in patient care, education, and research. Thank you for your unwavering support. I am excited to embark on this journey with all of you. Let us work together towards a future where anesthesia care achieves new heights.

Warm Regards

Prof. Dr. Anil Shrestha
