Kuwait Anesthesia & Critical Care Society

About Us

The Anesthesia and Critical Care Society is a non-profitable organization which falls under the Kuwait Medical Association (KMA) and follows its regulations.

Establishing the Society in 2004

The story starts in 2004, when the former head of Kuwait Council of Anesthesia and Intensive care Dr. Abdulraheem Al-Qattan called for the formation of the society. This ignited the enthusiasm of five consultants who joined efforts to establish the society. These consultants were:

Dr. Abdulraheem Al-Qattan

Dr. Muhammed Al-Khashtee

Dr. Muhammed Shamsah

Dr. Asmahan Al-Mulla

Dr. Abdulhussein Al-Mejadi

Dr. Muhammed Bahzad

Over the years, the society strived to support major scientific activities held annually. Notably like any rare specialty with limited members, the society witnessed periods of action as well as lull, but the 2020 pandemic was one of the most active phases. Throughout the pandemic, the society encouraged anaesthesiologists and intensivists locally to join under the leadership of the Ministry of Health COVID centre’s ICUs. The society also developed useful social-media articles during the pandemic circulated to guide colleagues and public regarding the different challenges in COVID-19.

Lately, in 2022, the Society e-mail created (KACCS@kma.org.kw) opening new horizons in reaching out to the world welcoming new opportunities and activities.
