INVITATION LETTER FROM THE LOC CHAIR

Dear partners,

Our country has been honoured to host and organize the 8th_{European Congress on Paediatric Anaesthesia. The congress} is being held in the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Belgrade from September 29th_{to October 1}st_{, 2016. Besides our eminent and} foreign lecturers, we also expect more than 500 paediatric anaesthesiologists from all over the world to participate in the event.

Paediatric anaesthesiologists are engaged in the resuscitation of children, they provide anaesthesia during surgical and diagnostic procedures and also treat severely ill children in intensive care units. In addition, they manage emergency conditions and treat chronic and acute pain. Paediatric anaesthesia is a specifi c part of anaesthesia that requires special training and education, taking into account that children are not just “small adults” and every age is unique in terms of anatomy, physiology and psychology.

On top of treating children, educating younger colleagues in paediatric anaesthesia, resuscitation, intensive care and pain therapy is also a part of our work.

This is the fi rst time that a scientifi c symposium of such category is being held in Belgrade. This event represents an opportunity for us, as paediatric anaesthesiologists, to present our country and medicine to the world in the best possible way.

Our paediatric patients are the greatest motivation to keep pace with the latest scientifi c achievements, however besides our enthusiasm we also need your fi nancial support to organize this event to its fullest.

I would like to invite you to join us in organizing this big event. Your contribution to this important event helps us achieve our goal while giving you an opportunity to present your company to the international public.

Sincerely,

Prof. Dusica Simic, MD, PhD, Local Organizing Committee Chair
