Five years ago, on the advice of colleagues from the US, our patron-Mary Mungai-reached out to #IFNA to share the work #NurseAnesthetists are doing in Kenya. In IFNA we found an international home where we could share experiences & learn from our peers across the world 1/
Having had the privilege of attending the World Congress of #NurseAnesthetists with other African colleagues, it became clear 2 them & #IFNA leadership that something needs to be done to create access to #CME forums-particularly from LMIC, who are unable to attend such events 2/
As a result, #IFNA has asked Kenya to host the first Pan African Nurse Anesthetists Conference in June 2020 #PANAC2020
This event hopes to bring together #NurseAnesthetists working on the continent for three days of learning, sharing, fun and building lasting collaborations 3/
