Dear Colleagues and Friends, It is with great excitement that we invite you to join us in Durban for the Annual Critical Care Congress 2025, hosted by the Critical Care Society of Southern Africa. As congress co-chairs, we look forward to welcoming you to an event designed to inspire, educate, and connect professionals dedicated to the advancement of critical care in South Africa and beyond. Our theme, “From Shoreline to Lifeline: Anchoring Critical Care in Excellence,” underscores our commitment to ensuring the highest standards in critical care. The shoreline represents the boundary between stability and the unknown, much like the challenges we face in critical care daily. Just as skilled navigators rely on experience, innovation, and teamwork to weather unpredictable seas, critical care professionals must anchor themselves in expertise, resilience, and collaboration to deliver optimal patient outcomes. This congress will provide an invaluable opportunity to explore cutting-edge research, innovative therapies, and best practices that define excellence in our field. Set against the welcoming backdrop of Durban’s coastline, where the vast ocean meets golden beaches, this congress will blend the laid-back coastal atmosphere with the intensity of critical care discussions. Durban, known for its warm hospitality, rich cultural heritage, and vibrant atmosphere, offers an inspiring setting for reflection, learning, and networking. Our programme will feature an enriching mix of scientific presentations, hands-on workshops, and engaging panel discussions led by local and international experts, and supported by key trade partners with a vibrant and extensive trade exhibition. Beyond the academic sessions, delegates can enjoy the coastal charm of Durban, whether through leisurely beach walks, exploring local cuisine, or taking in the city's unique sights. Whether you are a veteran in the field or new to the specialty, this congress will offer insights and opportunities tailored to your journey. I encourage you to be part of this landmark event, where together, we will explore new horizons and strengthen the critical care community. We eagerly anticipate your presence in August 2025 for an unforgettable congress experience. See you in Durban! Warm regards,
Critical Care Congress 2025 |

I would like to thank them in advance for their valuable contributions. This event would not have been possible without the generous and continued support of the industry and without you, the delegates. A big thank you to all of you. Participate, learn, and enjoy!
