"Connecting Minds, Advancing Neurology in Asia-Oceania."

Distinguished Delegates, Colleagues, and Friends,

It is a distinct honor to welcome you to the 20th Asian Oceanian Congress of Neurology (AOCN 2026). Hosting this prestigious event in Medan is a proud moment for us, marking a new chapter of collaboration in our region's neurological landscape.

Our theme this year, "Innovations in Neurology - Bridging Research and Patient Care," was chosen to reflect the urgent need to translate our growing scientific knowledge into tangible benefits for patients. Over five days, we will explore the frontiers of neuro-science, debate clinical challenges, and foster partnerships that transcend borders.

We invite you to immerse yourself in the scientific program and equally in the warmth of Medan's culture. Let this congress be a source of inspiration and professional renewal for us all.

Sincerely,

AOCN 2026 Chairman
