Two memorial congresses in tribute of Omar Prakash, MD, PhD

Both memorial congresses presented the large field of computing and technology in anaesthesia and intensive care. Many of the contributors were personal friends of Omar and the spirit of Dr. Omar Prakash was present during these congresses. Quite certainly, he would have enjoyed both of the two occasions. They proved that the idea Dr. Omar Prakash first sparked in early eighties, of international meetings for scientists to come to meet friends and interchange ideas, is going strong. In fact, people spontaneously reached agreement that this tradition of Memorial congresses should be continued in the future. Whenever such a congress is to be arranged, you will see it being announced in this very Journal, which was founded by Dr. Prakash himself more than ten years ago.
