It gives
me great honor and pleasure to announce the
inauguration of the Pakistan Society of Neuro-Oncology
(PASNO) on September 5, 2020.
PASNO is a nonprofit educational and scientific
organization chartered by the Government of
Pakistan. Through PASNO, we plan to host annual
neuro-oncology symposia and sponsor and organize
activities to enhance awareness and education about
neuro-oncology in Pakistan, to improve patient care
of brain tumor patients and provide the platform for
networking and academic activities in neuro-oncology
in Pakistan.
We aim to have neuroscientists (including basic
scientists working on neuro-oncology), neurologists,
neurosurgeons, neuro-radiologists, and neuro-oncologists
(including pediatric neuro-oncologists, pediatric
neurologists and pediatric neurosurgeons), and
nursing and other paramedical professionals, from
within and outside Pakistan as its members. We
especially welcome membership by the students and
trainees who are interested in neuro-oncology. On
behalf of the Executive Committee and the Advisory
Board of PASNO, I invite you all to join us as a
member of PASNO, and participate in the activities
of PASNO to improve care of patients suffering from
brain tumor, to enhance research on brain tumors in
Pakistan and to stimulate other academic and
organizational activities to help PASNO achieve its
mission and goals.
We very much look forward to hearing from you if you
have any advice or recommendation to enrich the role
of PASNO in Pakistan and worldwide.
