WFNS (India) Trust

WFNS (India) Trust

 

New Delhi, India hosted the 9th International Congress of Neurological Surgery in 1989 and savings of approximately Indian Rupees 6 million was made. The Government of India rules were such that no money could be repatriated as hard currency i.e. dollars, marks, etc. to any country. Then President of W.F.N.S, Dr. Kemp Clark and Secretary, Dr. Alfons Walder along with Dr. Lindsay Symon (who in the succeeding year became President of W.F.N.S.) suggested that a Trust be formed with the corpus of the savings to resolve the impasse.

Over the past two decades the WFNS (India) Trust has funded several Indian neurosurgical conferences, workshops, and symposia. It has also funded two local microsurgery laboratories. A large number of Indian neurosurgeons have been supported to attend international meetings as well as obtain training in specific areas which were later established in India. A number of neurosurgeons from neighboring countries have been funded to obtain training in Indian centres, as well as attend Indian neurosurgical meetings.
