Opening Ceremony
The ESA President Prof. Johannes Knape welcomed all delegates to Euroanaesthesia 2008 at the Opening Ceremony and then passed the word to the host country Chairman, Dr. Hans Kirkegaard who spoke about the importance of using humour when dealing with difficult situations. The invited keynote speaker, Jesper Fisker, Director of the Danish National Board of Health, conveyed how anaesthesiologists are perceived; focusing on the fact that the anaesthesiologist is the only medical practitioner that sees both birth and death. The Opening Ceremony ended with a spectacular show from the Peter Schaufuss Ballet.
