INTRODUCTION
OThe first Department of Anaesthesia in the country was created at King Edward Medical College in November 1959 with Dr. Rustam Ali Nabi becoming first Professor of Anaesthesia. The Department since then has grown steadily both in volume and scope of anaesthetic practice. Due to creation of new surgical sub-specialties at the affiliated Mayo Hospital and increase in work load over the years, a second chair of anaesthesia was created in 1984. King Edward Medical University is the only place in the country where there are two separate units of anaesthesia.
