Dear Seniors, Colleagues and Friends,

It gives me immense pleasure to welcome you all to the ISACON South Zone 2025, to be held in the vibrant and picturesque city of Visakhapatnam. This conference, with the theme "Perioperative Medicine – Basics and Beyond," promises to be an enriching platform for learning, collaboration, and innovation.

As anesthesiologists, we play a pivotal role in the perioperative journey of patients. This year's theme is a reflection of our evolving responsibilities in ensuring patient safety and improving outcomes through evidence-based practices, multidisciplinary collaboration, and innovation in perioperative medicine. The scientific program has been meticulously designed to cater to diverse interests, featuring engaging lectures, hands-on workshops, panel discussions, and interactive sessions led by distinguished experts.

Apart from the academic feast, Visakhapatnam offers a unique blend of natural beauty and cultural richness. I encourage you to take some time to explore this coastal gem and create lasting memories.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to the organizing committee, our distinguished speakers, sponsors, and all participants for their unwavering support and commitment to making this conference a grand success.

Let us come together to learn, share, and inspire each other as we strive toward excellence in anesthesia and perioperative care. Wishing you all a fruitful and memorable experience at the conference.

Warm regards,
Dr D. Rajsekhar
