Welcome to 25th Annual Conference of Society of Anesthesiologist of Nepal

The Society of Anaesthesiologists of Nepal proudly announces its 25th Annual Conference, SANCON 2026, to be held at the Pokhara Event Center, Pokhara. This year’s theme, “Mind behind the Monitor: Human Intelligence in Anesthesia,” reflects our commitment to advancing clinical reasoning, judgment, and the art of safe practice.

After hosting 23 of our past conferences in Kathmandu and only one outside the valley nearly a decade ago, we are excited to bring this milestone event to the scenic city of Pokhara. We look forward to welcoming you all and creating a vibrant space for learning, discussion and collaboration.
