ACT–KSACS Joint Webinar Series Launch: Spotlight on Trauma & Coagulopathy

The Asian Collaboration for Trauma (ACT) is thrilled to announce the launch of a new bi‑monthly webinar series, beginning with a jointly organized inaugural seminar in partnership with the Korean Society of Acute Care Surgery (KSACS). This exciting educational initiative will bring together leading experts in trauma surgery and critical care to explore high‑impact clinical topics across all aspects of trauma care.

The series is designed for trauma involved surgeons, emergency physicians, intensivists,  anesthesiologists, radiologists, trauma nurses, allied health professionals,and all members of the acute care team. Subsequent webinars will be hosted by ACT in collaboration with other member countries and partner societies across Asia.

Importantly, this series is dedicated to the memory of Professor Rolando Dela Cruz, former President of ACT from the Philippines, who passed away on June 19, 2025. Professor Dela Cruz was a visionary leader and tireless advocate for trauma care in Asia. Through this ongoing webinar series, ACT and KSACS aim to honour his legacy and continue his commitment to improving trauma outcomes through education and regional collaboration.
