Asian - Australian Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery

Welcome Message

We warmly welcome you to the 5th Congress of Asian-Australasian Society for Pediatric Neurosurgery (AASPN) 2025 in the island of god, Bali, Indonesia. While Bali collides a traditional exotic life culture and the modern touch, we wish to gather the best pediatric neurosurgeons from all over the world to enjoy the meeting and the beautiful scenery of the island.

The theme, Advancing The Technology – Serving The Humanity, is expected to mark the advancement of our knowledge and technology in serving the pediatric population around the world. We continue to follow the path of the giants by installing the 4C of Critical Thinking, Communication, Creativity, and Collaboration. Mutual friendship and collaboration will enable us to fulfill our vision and spirit as pediatric neurosurgeon. We believe that the collaboration between the AASPN and its members with the global pediatric neurosurgery community is highly important. As the first Congress of AASPN held in Southeast Asian countries, we hope that the meeting symbolizes as a bridge between Asian and Australian continents as well as with other continents in the world.

Through academic and relaxing social interactive format, we offer all attendees an excellent opportunity to review fundamental to updated information and discuss clinical management with the AASPN’s experienced faculties as well as our guest experts from across the world.

We sincerely hope you will benefit from the 5th Congress of AASPN 2025 in Bali, Indonesia.. It offers all AASPN members fantastic opportunities to grow and develop friendships. It will be important for the future of the AASPN to expand and advance pediatric neurosurgery globally. We look forward to seeing you face to face in Bali this coming December.
