Pakistan Society of Neuro-Oncology (PASNO) is organizing Neuro-Oncology Webinar Series (NOWS).
Each webinar of the NOWS will be an hour and will be held once a month. The format will be 30 to 40 minutes of lecture and the rest of the time to answering questions and discussion. There is no fee for the participants, but pre-registration will be required.
Our cardinal objective for organizing NOWS is to educate those taking care of brain tumor patients and those involved in brain tumor research. The ultimate goal is to improve the quality of care & management of brain tumor patients globally, focusing on Lower-and Middle-Income Countries (LMIC).
NOWS is conducted on Zoom and the link is shared with the registered participants only.
