The South and West Asia Chapter of Extracorporeal Life Support Organisation (SWAC ELSO) was established in the year 2013 with the combined efforts of senior members from the ELSO and the ECMO society of India. 1 It was established with the idea of improving the awareness and practice of ECMO in this part of the world. I am pleased to see the growth of the organisation in the next couple of years. This region is representative of the member countries from the SAARC (South Asian Association for Regional Cooperation) and Gulf region. In 2016, South Africa joined the chapter.
