15th July 2022
The World Federation of Neurology (WFN) and the German Neurological Society (DGN) are pleased to announce our renewed partnership to invite two colleagues from Africa to visit the Department of Neurology at the University Hospital Leipzig and the Department of Neurology at the University Hospital Schleswig-Holstein in Luebeck.
The German Neurological Society (DGN) was initially founded as the “Gesellschaft Deutscher Nervenärzte” in 1907 by Wilhelm Erb. In 1935, the society was dissolved by the Nazi government. The re-establishment of the society took place in 1950 by Heinrich Pette. The DGN is part of the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany (AWMF). The current Chairman is Prof. Christian Gerloff from Hamburg. In recent years the DGN has become a fast-growing society which represents more than 11,000 members.
The WFN was formed in Brussels in 1957 as an association of national neurological societies. Today the WFN represents 123 professional societies in 123 countries in all regions of the world. The mission of the WFN is to foster quality neurology and brain health worldwide, a goal we seek to achieve by promoting global neurological education and training, with the emphasis placed firmly on under-resourced parts of the world.
