Originally a dense forest with wild animals like leopards and Bengal tigers. The name of ‘Chitwaa’ and ‘ban’ (tiger forest) started to called Chitwan.

Message from organizing committee
On behalf of Psychiatrists’ Association of Nepal (PAN), we would welcome you all in the 9th National Conference of PAN (PANCON 2022) to be held at Sauraha, Chitwan, in November 3-4, 2022 (Kartik 17-18, 2079 BS). PANCON has become an annual event and Sauraha conference will cement this status.
This conference will bring us together after long and exhausted COVID pandemic. Many people in pandemic have lost lots of their near and dear ones, and our Psychiatric fraternity is no exception. There have been exponential increments in psychiatric morbidities due to multiple factors including COVID infection itself. There were down regulation of what can be described as social determinants of positive mental health (such as employment, economic empowerment, physical health, social justice, equality and equal opportunities), they were very obvious during pandemic, and mentally ill people were especially vulnerable. These social determinants were unequal even during normal times, and patients with mental disorders were always on the lower sides and the last ones receiving them. During pandemic it became very gross and clear, that improvement of patients with psychiatric disorders is not solved by “tablets” and “talk therapy” alone. Political will power and social opportunities are also crucial for these unfortunate patients to bring them back in main social stream. So we have aptly given the theme “mental health in the changing world” so that we focus on holistic approach while we can deal mental health issues.
This conference will incorporate biological, psychological and social approaches to stay mentally healthy. There will be multiple symposia, free papers, posters and unique interaction and event. The conference will be unique as we are entering into post COVID world and gradually issues are being settled but few uncertainties remain. We are still not sure and will gradually be learning regarding “post COVID” mental health issues.
Sauraha, Chitwan is located in the nearly centre of Nepal. There are attractive places for everyone- nature adventure in Chitwan National Park, religious place at Devghat and other important landmarks in near districts. Weather will be cool and serene, hotels and ambience will be beautiful.Organizing committee formed for PANCON 2022 is a small group of highly dedicated people who will look after you once you decide to attend PANCON 2022. Everything will be taken care of and you will cherish our hospitality forever.
