Dear Colleagues and Friends,

On behalf of Jakarta’s branch of Indonesian Society of Neurologist (PERDOSSI JAYA) and Faculty of Medicine Universitas Indonesia, we are pleased to invite you to join The Jakarta Neurology Exhibition Workshop and Symposium 6.0 (JAKNEWS) which will take place at Shangrila Hotel, Sofyan Hotel, Dr. Cipto Mangunkusumo National General Hospital, and Dharmais National Cancer Center in Jakarta from 2, 6-10 March 2019. 

The rapidly expanding updates from the newest neurological research have render the needs in updating neurological knowledge a necessity. Our health care system is currently aiming at providing a universal health coverage, giving optimal healthcare services to every layer of society. To achieve this, competent human resources are needed, therefore renewal of knowledge and skills is a must to every healthcare provider in each field. Neurology is one of many disciplines that continues to develop in terms of knowledge, technology and research. 

Understanding the needs, JAKNEWS 6.0 bring us the most recent updates in neurology by bringing several national and international experts. In this event, we also have prepared high quality scientific sessions and attractive hands-on workshops to cover the newest and most important issues in neurology. 

On this JAKNEWS 6.0, we also choose the color of gold. The color of gold is a warm color that is associated with illumination, love, compassion, courage and wisdom. Gold gemstones are believed to increase personal wisdom and power, aid in health and wellness, create success and prosperity, and illuminate the path toward one’s goal. We hope all of that is in accordance of what we envisioned of JAKNEWS with neurology in Indonesia. 

We hope that this event will facilitate us in reaching our goal as well as improving our neurological skill and knowledge. We are looking forward to welcome and inspire you in JAKNEWS 6.0.
