Kathmandu, April 3 Second International and the Seventh Annual Conference of Neurosurgeons organised by Nepalese Society of Neurosurgeons is due to begin here from tomorrow. On the first day of the three-day conference, participants will attend World Federation Neurosurgical Societies’ Educational Course being conducted in the country for the first time. Organising a press meet here today, NESON President Dr Mohan Raj Sharma informed that the one-day course would be very helpful especially for young neurosurgeons to update their knowledge on neurosurgery. “The course is very expensive and it requires very experienced and skilled doctors, infrastructure and technology,” said Dr Sharma.
