It is with deep sorrow and heavy hearts that the Asian and Oceanic Society of Regional Anesthesia and Pain Medicine (AOSRA-PM) mourns the sudden passing of Associate Professor Dr. Cong Quyet Thang, President of the Vietnam Society of Anaesthesiologists and Immediate Past President of AOSRA-PM, who passed away on April 29, 2025, at the age of 67.

Dr. Thang was a distinguished leader, respected educator, and devoted physician who played a pivotal role in advancing the field of anesthesiology in Vietnam and across the Asia-Oceania region. As a passionate mentor and teacher, he inspired generations of Vietnamese anesthesiologists and contributed immensely to academic growth and clinical excellence in the field.

During his years as President of AOSRA-PM from 2022 to 2024, Dr. Thang exemplified visionary leadership and unwavering dedication. Under his guidance, the society expanded its educational initiatives and strengthened collaborative ties among member societies. His thoughtful diplomacy, professional integrity, and steadfast commitment to improving patient care left a lasting legacy within our community.

We join the Vietnam Society of Anaesthesiologists, his colleagues, and the international anesthesia community in grieving this profound loss. We also extend our deepest condolences to his family, who have lost a beloved husband, father, and brother.

Dr. Thang's remarkable contributions to regional and global anesthesiology will be remembered with enduring respect and gratitude. His legacy will continue to inspire all of us who had the honor of working with him.

May he rest in peace.
