Neurosurgical Missions in Tanzania
Neurosurgical diseases have a dramatic impact on society and on economic conditions in developing countries but, unfortunately, are not on the radar screen of governmental or private health or support organizations. In East Africa, traumatic brain injuries, congenital malformations and infections of the central nervous system affect children and the most productive part of society and are currently not treated effectively or simply ignored. In East Africa there is currently one neurosurgeon per 9 million people, while in the US the ratio is 1: 62500. Our mission is to provide medical training and education to physicians and other medical personnel in Tanzania in order to create independent, self-propagating, and sustainable medical care.
