Dear Colleagues, Students, and Visitors!
Every year on April 11, the global medical community and public organisations join forces to raise awareness about Parkinson’s disease — a progressive neurological condition that affects movement and the quality of life for millions.
This date commemorates the birthday of James Parkinson, the English physician who first described the condition in his 1817 work “An Essay on the Shaking Palsy.” The Red Tulip is the international symbol of Parkinson’s awareness, representing hope for medical breakthroughs and support for patients and their families.
At the Department of Neurosurgery and Neurology of the Academic and Research Medical Institute of Sumy State University, we focus on cutting-edge diagnostics, advanced pharmacotherapy, and neurosurgical interventions for movement disorders. Our mission is to combine high-level medical education with compassionate patient care and social advocacy.
