The South African Society of Anaesthesiologists (SASA) is dedicated to the furtherance of the discipline of anaesthesia at both an academic and a clinical level and is devoted to the welfare of its members. SASA provides members with many services including free access to the official Journal of the society - South African Journal of Anaesthesia and Analgesia - numerous CPD activities, support and advice from experts, the production of practice guidelines and negotiation with funders regarding the reimbursement for anaesthesia services. The society is active in providing members with guidance and assistance over issues such as ethical billing practice, generic substitution and informed consent for anaesthesia.

Through its local branch meetings and national conferences, the society endeavours to maintain a high standard of academic awareness amongst its members. The highlight of the society's activities is the hosting of the World Cup congress of Anaesthesiologists in Cape Town 2008. Thank you for visiting our website. We hope you have found it useful and informative and, if you are an anaesthesiologist but not yet a member, that you will take this opportunity to join the society that puts your needs first.
