Organised by the Association of Otolaryngologists of India, Kanyakumari Chapter, NEITHAL 27 is envisioned as a vibrant confluence of academic excellence, innovation, collaboration and camaraderie, bringing together ENT surgeons, residents and students from across Tamil Nadu and beyond.
The conference promises an enriching academic experience with an extensive scientific programme, hands-on workshops and engaging sessions covering the evolving frontiers of Otolaryngology — providing not merely a platform for learning, but an opportunity to share ideas, showcase research, discover innovations and build lasting professional connections.

From its breathtaking sunrise and sunset to its vibrant heritage and warm hospitality, Kanniyakumari promises to make NEITHAL 27 an experience to remember.
