The first scientific symposium for neurologists and neurosurgeons was held at the Neuroscience Hospital, dedicated to discussing the latest developments in the treatment of Parkinson's disease using the Gamma Knife device. Professor Dr. Abdul Amir Jasem Al-Khafaji delivered a scientific lecture highlighting the hospital’s pioneering experience in this field. He presented detailed insights into the treatment using the Gamma Knife, which is currently available at the Neuroscience Hospital thanks to the ongoing support of Mr. Al-Shammari, the hospital director, for the Gamma Unit and its surgical team. It is noteworthy that in March 2025, the Neuroscience Hospital performed the first Gamma Knife procedure for Parkinson’s disease in Iraq and the region—a groundbreaking achievement that was published at the time. The surgical team for this procedure consisted of Professor Dr. Abdul Amir Jasem Al-Khafaji and Dr. Ali Uday.

The symposium was attended by a number of prominent scientific figures, most notably Professor Dr. Abdul Salam Al-Atraqji, Head of the Gamma Unit, and Professor Dr. Yasser Mohammed Hassan Hamandi, President of the Scientific Council (Board), along with professors of neurology and board students specializing in internal neurology and neurosurgery.
