Asian Congress of Neurological Surgeons
Asian Journal of Neurosurgery

Around in 1990, it was very rare to see a young neurosurgeon from Asia at any international neurosurgical meetings anywhere. The reason was of course the unbearable financial difficulty that such participation was creating.
In 1993, the first Asian Congress of Neurological Surgeons (ACNS) was held at Nagoya, Japan.
Since then, 10 ACNS meetings have been held in Japan, Pakistan, Hong-Kong, Indonesia, India, China and Malaysia. A total of 3,518 neurosurgeons have participated in them.
New realities in Asia have changed the understanding of underdevelopment, economic growth, social development and health care, facing new challenges presented by matching the new socioeconomic status with the contemporary demands for neurosurgical care.
