The event drew over 400 doctors from across India, making it one of the most attended neuroscience CME events in the Delhi-NCR region.
A Decade of Neuroscience Education at Fortis Noida
This conclave has been organised every year since 2015, under the direct leadership of Dr (Prof.) Rahul Gupta, Senior Director and HOD – Neurosurgery, Fortis Noida.
Over a decade, it has grown from a regional CME into one of the most recognised neuroscience conferences in North India.The 2026 edition saw participation from doctors based in Meerut, Moradabad, Bulandshahr, Bareilly, Haldwani, Aligarh, Muzaffarnagar, Hyderabad, Surat, Gujarat, Chandigarh, and Baraut, reflecting the event’s growing national reach.
Dr Rahul Gupta on Ten Years of the Conclave
“Ten years ago, we started this conclave with a simple belief -that neuroscience in India needed a dedicated academic platform where clinicians could learn from each other, not just listen to presentations.
Seeing over 400 doctors come together this year, from across the country, tells me that belief was right.
The launch of the Institute of Neurosciences at Fortis Noida is not just a milestone for our department -it is a commitment to making world-class neurological care more accessible and more collaborative. We will keep building.“
Dr (Prof.) Rahul Gupta, Senior Director & HOD – Neurosurgery, Fortis Noida
