The Obstetric Anaesthesia Special Interest Society : renewed commitment to improving obstetric anaesthesia in South Africa : guest editorial

Following the example of the UK and the USA, a group of interested practitioners has initiated a special interest group for obstetric anaesthesia in South Africa. This organisation will operate under the auspices of the South African Society of Anaesthesiologists (SASA), with its own constitution and elected executive committee. Its goal is to reduce anaesthesia-related maternal and fetal morbidity and mortality, as well as improve the overall birth and bonding experience of mothers in this country.
