World Federation of Societies of Anesthesiologists

The World Federation of Societies of Anaesthesiologists (WFSA) is an international organization that unites anesthesiologists—medical doctors specialized in anesthesia and perioperative care—from around the world. Its goal is to improve patient safety and quality of anesthesia care globally through education, advocacy, and the development of standards. WFSA collaborates with national societies to share knowledge, promote training, and support healthcare systems, especially in low-resource areas. By fostering global cooperation, the organization helps ensure that patients everywhere receive safe and effective anesthesia and pain management during surgery and other medical procedures.
