The symposium opens on the evening of 4th July 2025 with a ceremonial inauguration, the induction of the new ASN President, and the presidential address. The evening continues with cultural performances, setting a warm and collaborative tone for the days ahead, followed by dinner and networking.
The first full day centers on global perspectives in stroke care, highlighting disparities, emergency evaluation, neuroimaging, and acute management strategies such as thrombolysis, thrombectomy, and ICH treatment. Sessions also explore visual dysfunctions, unanswered clinical questions, and the importance of stroke etiology and prevention, while case-based discussions bring practical insights into unusual causes, TIA management, and rehabilitation challenges. The day concludes with innovation-focused sessions that tie together advances in diagnosis, management, and patient care.
The second day emphasizes advanced stroke management and practical best practices, covering critical issues like blood pressure control in hyper-acute stroke, decompressive craniectomy, and the setup of dedicated stroke units. Case discussions on rare causes, subarachnoid hemorrhage, stroke mimics, and cardioembolic stroke deepen clinical knowledge, while sessions on cerebral venous thrombosis, neuropsychiatric impacts, and rehabilitation in resource-limited settings add breadth. The day wraps up with regional expert panels and the closing ceremony of the main symposium.
The third day, dedicated to medical professionals, addresses spasticity management with Botox, stroke unit protocols, and complication management, while also focusing on value-based care and neurological emergencies such as substance abuse-related complications and acute flaccid paralysis. The ASN regional meeting features engaging case-based discussions and a quiz, creating a collaborative learning environment that bridges clinical practice with ongoing research.
Running in parallel on the final day, the workshop for allied health professionals focuses on rehabilitation and multidisciplinary care. Sessions cover mobility restoration, speech and swallowing recovery, and the essential role of nursing, while case studies highlight community reintegration after stroke. Group discussions and collaborative case analyses provide a practical platform for participants to share strategies, ensuring allied health teams are equipped to deliver comprehensive stroke rehabilitation.
