A Legacy of Precision. A Future of Excellence

Since 2010, SyNAPS has been the cornerstone of neuroanesthesia in the Philippines—bridging the gap between complex neurosurgical innovation and patient safety.

A Decade of Excellence in Neurosciences.

Founded in 2010, the Society for Neuroanesthesia of the Philippines (SyNAPS) was established by visionary leaders to bridge the gap between rapid neurosurgical innovation and specialized anesthetic care.

For over a decade

We have served as the premier academic hub

For clinicians dedicated to the brain and central nervous system. Our society was born from a necessity to standardize neurocritical care in the Philippines and to provide a sustainable platform for Filipino anesthesiologists to engage with the global medical community.

Our Mission

To advance the specialty of neuroanesthesia in the Philippines through a dedicated commitment to world-class education, groundbreaking multi-institutional research, and the unwavering pursuit of patient safety.

Our Vision

To be the leading professional community advancing excellence in neuroanesthesia, the neurosciences, and perioperative neurocritical care within the Philippines and the ASEAN region.

Our Core Values

The Values That Drive Us

Scientific Integrity
