Congress of the Neurological Association of South Africa

Congress of the Neurological Association of South Africa

General Neurology practice is a unique hive of synaptic cohesion spanning paroxysmal syndromes of epilepsy, stroke, and headaches, to insidious stealthy progressions of dementia, demyelination, and encephalopathies. Refining expertise across this wide gamut of Neurology is the goal of the Annual Neurology Congress hosted by the Neurology Association of South Africa (NASA). We are enthralled to invite you to encounter a new and improved NASA 2025 taking place in the diverse and culturally fascinating city of Durban, SouthAfrica, from 07-10May 2025!

In an innovative collaboration of NASA EXCO with University of KwaZulu Natal Neurology Department, NASA 2025 offers a novel program designed to upskill, educate, and inspire neurologists across the continent and attract global peer partnerships.

Highlights include interactive pre-Congress workshops on Stroke and Genetic Disorders at no additional costs. These dedicated sessions are carefully curated to enhance greater clinical alignment with best practice. Keynote platform addresses will showcase pioneering journeys filled with triumphs, lessons, and clarion calls to go further. Leading experts in the broad branches of Neurology will present research and evidence translated from bench to bedside clinical practice. Hot topics include approaches to minimally conscious patients, neurocritical care, artificial intelligence, and the daily debates on funding and funders.

Attendees will also have opportunities to attend industry sponsored sessions with local and international colleagues providing additional breaking news.

The Congress will take place at Capital Hotel Zimbali, Kwa Zulu Natal, set in a tropical forest that unfurls into the ocean, blending organically into a lush natural landscape. Located on the East Coast of South Africa, just north of Durban, a city renowned for its blend of cultures, cuisine, and balmy summer weather all year round.

This congress promises a one-stop elevation of academic excellence for any practicing neurologist, and a memorable South African experience.

We look forward to welcoming you to NASA 2025!
