Objective & Strategy

As spelt out in its Memorandum of Association, the prime objective of NSFM is “to promote the development of Neurology and Neurosurgery in the Medical Services of Malaysia”. To be more precise, it means promoting the three (3) allied disciplines of Neurosciences, i.e. Neurology, Neurosurgery and Psychiatry.

To work closely with the Ministry of Health in the training and education of Neurologists, Neurosurgeons and Psychiatrists besides other ancillary staff like Nurses and Assistant Medical Officers, by sending them to attend conferences, workshops and courses, locally and overseas, to upgrade their knowledge and skills.

To provide grants to local professional bodies such as Neurosurgical Association of Malaysia, Malaysian Psychiatric Association, Malaysian Society of Neurosciences, etc, to organise seminars/conferences/courses locally, for the benefit of local doctors and nurses.

To sponsor renowned foreign medical specialists to conduct workshops and courses at locally-organised seminars, for the benefit of local doctors and nurses.

To donate medical equipment to the Departments of Neurology and Neurosurgery in government hospitals from time to time.

To donate foreign medical publications on Neurosciences to the Kuala Lumpur Hospital (library) for use as reference materials by Neurospecialists, nurses and other health professionals.
