organizationin ASIA

Need for exchange
information

History of ASIORNACurrently within the Asian region there is no professional nursing association
for perioperative nurses. There are also no networking opportunities forperioperative nurses to come together to exchange information and ideas
to enhance and develop perioperative nursing or discuss evidence based
practices, patient safety issues as well as their professional voice in theperiopeative area.
The first preliminary arrangement meeting was held in Seoul in 2007. The
initial challenge for this group(Chairperson of International Committee andBoard member of KAORN, 3M) was to organize the first Asian operating
room leader’s connection with the 2008 Annual Congress of Korea
Association of operating Room Nurses (KAORN). The meeting held in Seoulin June 2008 was a crucial one. There were 8 countries present, and they
all wanted to formalize the Asian group in 8 different ways. There wereseveral suggestions for the group’s official name, and the representatives
chose the proposal "Asia-Pacific Operating Room Nurses”. ASPORN wasborn!
