The Indian Society of Neuroanaesthesiology and Critical Care (ISNACC) was established in 1999 with the vision of advancing the field of neuroanaesthesia and neurocritical care in India.
The idea of forming a dedicated society was conceptualized by eminent neuroanaesthesiologists:
• Dr. H. H. Dash
• Dr. K. J. Choudhury
• Late Dr. (Brig) P. N. Bhatt
The inception of ISNACC can be traced back to the First International Symposium on Neuroanaesthesia and Critical Care organized by Prof. H. H. Dash at AIIMS, New Delhi, in February 1995.
Subsequently, in February 1999, a group of dedicated neuroanaesthesiologists met at VIMHANS, New Delhi, and formally established ISNACC with the support of Prof. A. K. Bannerji.
The first ISNACC conference was conducted in September 1999 at GB Pant Hospital, Delhi, under the leadership of Dr. Mary Abraham.
Since then, ISNACC has grown exponentially, organizing annual conferences across India and promoting knowledge exchange and research.
