Introduction: Though the role of an Anesthesiologist is crucial, it__ampersandsignrsquo;s knowledge to the public is limited. It is, therefore, imperative for us to ponder over why the importance of this speciality is still under the shades and also, ways to make people aware of their vital role. Objective: The present study was conducted to assess public knowledge about the role of anesthesiologist and anaesthesia. Methods: It was a cross-sectional study with study population from 18-60 years and a sample size of 500 patients. The allowable error is 5.77% and a confidence interval of 95%. Results: When all people interviewed were asked if they would like to know more about Anesthesiology as a field of study and Anesthesiologist as a medical profession, majority of 60% showed their interest in knowing about it, 23% were not sure while only 17% denied knowing more about it. Among 500 people asked, 65% did not know if an anesthesiologist is a doctor while only 33% said yes. Conclusion: The results highlight the urgent need of the awareness programs and camps to create awareness in the general population to highlight the importance of anaesthesia and the need of the anesthesiologist for their best care.
