Two amazing CRNAs from our KA team, Conor and Janette, recently returned from Liberia. While there, they spent time teaching both student registered nurse anesthetists at the Phebe College of Health Sciences Nurse Anesthesia Program in Suakoko, and practicing CRNAs in Monrovia—covering BLS, trauma management, intubation, and obstetric anesthesia. Hands‑on workshops gave participants the chance to practice airway skills and emergency techniques in a supportive, interactive setting.  

Conor and Janette were able to partner with a pediatric surgeon from Bronson Hospital to provide anesthesia for several complex pediatric cases. They also had the opportunity to donate essential anesthesia medications and supplies to support safe surgical care. The medications were purchased using funds through fundraising efforts. If you were able to contribute-Thank You!

It was an incredible experience—strengthening professional relationships, supporting our colleagues, and helping build sustainable anesthesia education in Liberia. They are grateful for the opportunity to learn, teach, and grow together. We’re proud to contribute to anesthesia education and global health efforts, and we remain committed to supporting our colleagues in Liberia as they continue to expand access to safe anesthesia care.
