ASIAN OCEANIAN SOCIETY of NEUROPATHOLOGY

The Asian Oceanian Society of Neuropathology (AOSNP) originated in 2007 as the Asian Society of Neuropathology (ASNP). In 2018, at the General Assembly meeting of the 4th Congress of the Asian Society of Neuropathology held in Tokyo, Japan, it was proposed to include Oceanian countries, leading to the transformation of ASNP to AOSNP.

The formation of the AOSNP was officially finalised on September 25, 2021, in the Executive meeting of the 5th Congress held in Bengaluru, India with participation of members from Japan, India, China, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Korea, Jordan, Turkey, Malaysia and Philippines. The formation of the new society was subsequently reported to the International Society of Neuropathology (ISN) and published on the ISN website.
