Asian countries must keep up with the rapidly evolving and improving medical science, especially in specialized fields like neurosurgery, Malaysian Health Minister Liow Tiong Lai said on Monday.
"This is a worldwide phenomenon and Asian countries must also keep pace," said the minister when opening the 8th Asian Congress of Neurological Surgeons (ACNC) here on Monday.
Liow said technological advances had revolutionized the ways that doctors work and treat their patients with the emergence of new technologies that enable better visualization, earlier diagnosis and treatment of diseases.
The 8th ACNC saw the participation of more than 600 delegates from Asia and beyond. Held concurrently is the First Asian Neurosurgical Nursing Congress initiated by Malaysia.
The closing of the events is on Wednesday.
