We are delighted to present the 5th Edition of the Singapore Anaesthesia Refresher Course (SARC), incorporating the KK Hospital Obstetric Anaesthesia Symposium, which will be held from 9th -11th July 2021. This is the first time this conference is being held virtually. The pandemic has changed the way things are done, and within this challenge, there are new opportunities. Opportunities to reach a larger audience, with more international speakers and the ability to deliver targeted messages to your customers.

SARC 2021 is a biennial conference conducted by the Singapore Society of Anaesthesiologists (SSA). This highly anticipated event is the largest local education event in the specialty of Anaesthesiology, Intensive Care and Pain Medicine. This gathering will include more than 300 attendees from diverse backgrounds; including local, regional and overseas specialists from both public and private institutions, residents, fellows and allied professionals.

The theme for this year is ‘Evidence-Experience-Excellence’. Excellence in anaesthesia achieved via the integration of the very latest evidence with individual and collective experience. Our team of local and international speakers will drive home this message in their presentations.

The Organising Committee is committed to providing the best experience for our participants, who will benefit from the comprehensive programme delivered by renowned local, regional and international speakers. In particular, the KK Hospital Obstetric Anaesthesia Symposium (KKOAS) is the largest educational event in the field of Obstetric Anaesthesia within the region. SARC and KKOAS has been steadily growing over the years, and this year the organising committee is committed to increasing awareness within the region with the intention of attracting more international delegates.

Premier industry partners and exhibitors will be able to leverage on the online platform; and through state-of-the-art showcases, build lasting relationships with the delegates. Interactive modules on the online exhibition platform will encourage active participation while delivering targeted messages.

We invite you to engage with our highly qualified congregation of current and future key decision makers to further increase your brand visibility and eminently raise the profile of your company. We look forward to working with you and providing value for you through exciting sponsorship and interactive exhibition opportunities.

Warmest regards,
