Message from the Vice President
Hello everyone,
It has been a true privilege to be part of CDEAN since 2019, serving as an Executive Member, General Secretary, and now as Vice President. CDEAN, founded in 2015, has been at the forefront of uniting and uplifting restorative dentists and endodontists in Nepal. From organizing academic programs, clinical skill workshops, and conferences to offering non-profit training opportunities, we’ve remained committed to professional growth and collaboration.
During my term as General Secretary, we proudly digitalized our membership records, launched the first official newsletter, and published the CDEAN Members Directory. Our network has grown both nationally and internationally, allowing members to benefit from global exposure and educational opportunities through partnerships with reputed endodontic associations.
As we continue our journey, I am proud to witness CDEAN’s growing impact—especially through our advocacy efforts with institutions like the Nepal Medical Council, NDA, KU, and TU. I extend my heartfelt congratulations to the entire team on the successful launch of our official website. Special thanks to Dr. Deepak Roy and his dedicated team for their outstanding efforts. Wishing CDEAN continued success in the years to come!
Warm regards,
Dr. Nisha Acharya
