The Neurology Association of Odisha (NAO) was officially formed in 2022 with the help of Odisha’s visionary neurologists to provide advanced neurological care, collaborate with professionals, and empower the public about neurohealth across the state. However, its roots date back to 1969, when neurology was first introduced at SCB Medical College, Cuttack, under the Department of Medicine. With continuous advancement in neurology, it became a solo unit in 1982. Since then, the unit has been led by many visionary neurologists across the state from different institutes. In 2019, the roadmap for NAO was initiated, and the vision turned into reality after 3 years. As of 2025, the association hosts over 70+ neurologists across Odisha. From inception to implementation- the journey is incredible and inspiring!
To unite all the neurologists across Odisha with clinical excellence and promote academic collaboration for neurological care to create awareness among people about advanced neurological treatment for a healthier brain.
We envision a world where every corner of Odisha receives neurological assistance through education, science, and collaboration.
Patient-centred care, honesty in practice, and empowering the future of neurology through advanced thinking, teamwork, and academic excellence.
It is an honor to lead the Neurological Association of Odisha(NAO). I am feeling grateful to all the associated NAO members who entrusted their beliefs in me to take the neuroassociation’s legacy into a broader future.
