technology, and the art of collaboration. Critically ill patients are anywhere. We, intensitivists, have
primary responsibility to do our best to save their life, to bring them back to life with good quality and to
save the resources. With these missions, updated knowledge and competency are needed.

foster the development of good critical care practice in our region. Our mandate is to, bringing about
knowledge sharing and promoting education for member countries, which are full of diversity. By
organizing conferences, participating in national meeting and providing short course training; we have
increasingly achieved the missions. Yet, more works are ahead and many things need to be executed.
Knowledge synthesis is challenging. The important success factors are understanding and collaboration
from you.

society.
