Indian College of Anesthesiologists (ICA)
The Indian College of Anesthesiologists (ICA) was established in 2008 with the objective of complementing the Indian Society of Anaesthesiology (ISA) in its academic endeavors.
Accordingly, it is expected to function under overall guidance and supervision of ISA (National). Like ISA (National) the ICA too is a national formation in its character. It is envisaged that the ICA & ISA (National) should function together as integral parts of each other, supporting the efforts of each other and move ahead together.
