Dear Esteemed members of ISA Karnataka,
It is with deep humility and immense gratitude that I accept the responsibility of serving as the President of the Indian Society of Anaesthesiologists, Karnataka State Branch, for 2025-26. I stand on the shoulders of visionary leaders who have shaped our society with dedication, wisdom, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. I pledge to carry forward this legacy with integrity, inclusivity, and innovation.
My vision for ISA Karnataka is rooted in three pillars:
1. Scientific Excellence: To foster evidence-based practice, continuous professional development, and cutting-edge research across all levels of anaesthesiology—from core anaesthesia to emergency care, perioperative medicine, pain management, and critical care.
2. Service to Society: To expand our role in public health by promoting safe anaesthesia practices, access to pain relief, and community outreach through cardiopulmonary resuscitation training.
3. Solidarity and Support: To strengthen our professional community through mentorship, wellness initiatives, and collaborative platforms that empower every anaesthesiologist—from trainees to veterans.
Together, let us build a future where our work in anaesthesiology in Karnataka is not only clinically outstanding but also socially impactful and nationally relevant. I invite each of you to join hands in this journey—with your ideas, energy, and commitment.
President, ISA Karnataka
