Program
The 2021 World Congress of Intensive and Critical Care is committed to deliver high-quality scientific content that adapted to the needs of critical care professionals during these unprecedented times.
OUR COMMITMENT
We are committed to the principles of Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion. We are aiming for 50% of the speakers as females or other genders aside from males. We will make every effort to assure each session represents at least 2 different health professionals from 2 different continents. To improve the inclusive nature of the meeting we are exploring the ability to many of the scientific sessions.
