Cape Town: Medical Meeting Point
Cape Town is not only the second-most populous city in South Africa as well as the provincial city of the Western Cape, but also a very important meeting point for anaesthesiologists from all around the world. The reason for the meeting is the World Congress of Anaesthesiologists (WCA) – the world’s foremost educational programme for anaesthesiologists in Cape Town. Strictly speaking the congress represents the most reputable and respected international anaesthesia meeting in the world.
The congress lasts approximately five days. Its aim consists in joining anaesthesiologists from all over the world together as well as in providing a comprehensive and authoritative offer of over 320 lectures and discussions regarding a variety of current and interesting topics in anaesthesia. Furthermore it has to be stressed that the congress invites the most influential doctors who distinguish themselves with great skills in their medical areas, an outstanding reputation as well as extraordinary successes within their professional career. Besides, they do have the chance to choose the best, the most informative and of course most interesting lectures to participate, to get to know new colleagues as well as to meet fellow doctors who have similar areas of research.
The doctors do reside either in 4-star superior hotels or 5-star hotels which are luxuriously furnished. Strictly speaking the hotels provide spacious rooms including a flat screen TV, a king-size bed, big windows with elegant curtains as well as a balcony with extravagant roman blinds. In other words it can be stressed that the anaesthesiologists do get offered a perfect accommodation for a comfortable five-day stay. In order to guarantee an auspicious time in Cape Town, the hotels had to buy pleats for every single room. Pleats / Plissee do promise a trusty and particularly excellent protection against strong solar irradiation. Fact is that doctors do attach great importance to a profound sunscreen both inside a room and outdoors. So hotels are asked to fulfill certain standards and requirements if they want doctors, especially anaesthesiologists, to reside at their places.
