Who is the Department of Anaesthesiology?

In the University of the Free State (UFS) Department of Anaesthesiology we train undergraduate students and specialists to safely and effectively prepare patients, before, during and after surgery, to administer anaesthesia, provide aftercare, relieve pain and facilitate surgery, while we also relieve chronic pain and do critical care.

 

Divisions

• In General Anaesthesiology all types of anaesthesia are done and taught.
• At Pain Control Unit: Chronic and acute pain control are done and taught on a full time basis. This is the oldest unit of its kind in the country with the most comprehensive services.
• At our Anaesthesia Clinic, patients with severe systemic disease are evaluated and prepared for anaesthesia.

We are a friendly department, in pace with South Africa’s demands. The personnel are dedicated and participate in all clinical and university functions. Our department is geared towards the future with a process of sensible transformation and planning in place to provide for future needs.

In addition to training and research, clinical anaesthesia services are provided at the following venues in the Free State and Northern Cape.
