About
The Bangladesh Society of Regional Anaesthesia (BASRA) stands at the forefront of anesthetic practice in Bangladesh, serving as a premier educational and skill development platform for anaesthesiologists nationwide. We are a dedicated community of professionals committed to advancing the science and art of regional anaesthesia through collaboration, innovation, and a steadfast dedication to patient safety.
Our core mission is to build a robust and interconnected network of practitioners to expand the knowledge of regional anaesthesia in a methodical, evidence-based way, ultimately fostering the safest possible anaesthesia practices across the country.
Our Vision and Mission
To improve the standards of acute and critical care medicine in Bangladesh through education, research, and advocacy. We strive to empower healthcare professionals with the knowledge and skills necessary to deliver optimal care to patients in critical conditions.
To achieve this, our mission is built on three fundamental pillars:
Education and Skill Enhancement
We are committed to providing continuous professional development opportunities. Through hands-on workshops, seminars, and conferences, we equip our members with the latest knowledge and practical skills, with a special focus on cutting-edge techniques like ultrasound-guided regional anaesthesia. We believe in a structured, methodical approach to learning that builds both competence and confidence.
Building a Collaborative Network
BASRA is more than an organization; it is a community. We foster a supportive environment where anaesthesiologists from all corners of Bangladesh can connect, share clinical experiences, discuss challenges, and learn from one another. This collaborative spirit accelerates the dissemination of best practices and nurtures a culture of collective growth.
Promoting Safe Practice
Patient safety is the ultimate goal that drives all our activities. By elevating the proficiency of anaesthesiologists in regional techniques, we directly contribute to reducing perioperative complications, improving postoperative pain management, decreasing reliance on opioids, and enabling faster patient recovery. We champion the adoption of standardized, safe protocols to ensure consistent and reliable care.
What We Do
BASRA actively works to fulfill its mission through a variety of initiatives:
Hands-On Training
We organize intensive workshops that provide practical, hands-on experience with state-of-the-art equipment and techniques.

Our national and regional conferences feature leading experts from home and abroad, offering a platform to explore the latest research, guidelines, and innovations in the field.
Online Resources

Advocacy and Awareness
