Chandrashekhar Meshram

I am grateful to the Indian Academy of Neurology and the WFN for considering me worthy for the position of Elected Trustee. 

Services to the WFN 

I am indebted to WFN for giving me the opportunity to serve as Co-opted Trustee, elected trustee  and as the President of Tropical and Geographical Neurology Specialty Group (TGNSG). In these roles, I have contributed to the mission of WFN “fostering quality neurology and brain health worldwide”. Through TGNSG, I organized 16 webinar sessions on neuro infections and gave opportunity to trainees from different regions of the world to sharpen their clinical skills  The series “Inspiring People in Neurosciences” was  a step in the same direction. I contribute timely updates for the blog “ Spotlight on Covid and current global neuroinfections” at WFN website. I was instrumental in starting department visit program of WFN in India. In 2024, President of India conferred on me Padma Shri, one of the highest civilian honors in India.

I have served as a member  in the Constitution and Bye-Laws and  Scientific Program Committees. I am a member of Infectious disease panel of EAN. I am section editor of Encyclopedia of the Neurological Sciences and Assistant Editor of eNeurologicalSci.

The World Brain Day is the most eminent public awareness initiative of WFN.  I organize public education campaigns throughout the year. I have published about 500 articles for public education including several in World Neurology. 

Goals 

WFN is making every attempt to take care of inequality in neurology care and education worldwide and  I am committed to addressing it.  Collaboration with WHO and other societies is important for brain health. 

Passion to work for the WFN is the main reasons for standing for the post of an Elected Trustee. I would be grateful for your support.
