Welcome

Dear Colleagues   

The Society of Neurosurgery South Africa will welcome members and participating neurosurgeons to our 27th annual meeting, which will be held in Sun City from the 2 – 5 August 2018.

Since partnering with other international societies our meeting has steadily grown and this year together with the Japanese Society of Neurosurgery we are hoping for record attendance.

Anthony Figaji our new Scientific chair is working on an exciting programme and I hope that many of you will submit abstracts to compliment the talks by our international experts. Sam Mokgokong has once again accepted the task of being Congress Chairman and we look forward to his hospitality.

The annual society meeting is the main event in our neurosurgery year and is a time for us to learn, teach and plan how we can improve patient care, our practices and relationships with each other and the partners we work with.

I look forward to seeing you all at the meeting and fulfilling these goals.

Best regards

Allan Taylor

The Society of Neurosurgeons of South Africa is excited to announce our collaboration with the Japanese Neurosurgery Society. Ten of their highly regarded speakers will be teaching at the pre-meeting course of the World Federation of Neurosurgical Societies and will present their work at the main meeting. They have been personally selected by the Japanese Neurosurgery Society and are key leaders in cerebrovascular, spine, paediatrics, and neuro-oncology.
