Today is World Brain Day.
The theme: Brain Health: Access for All.

More than 3.4 billion people live with a neurological condition, most where care is hardest to reach. The science is advancing. Access has not.

Closing that gap is the work ahead.

Happy 4th of July from mission:BRAIN!!

Independence means a lot of things. In our work, it means countries and communities building their own neurosurgical capacity — so no one has to wait for a foreign team to fly in for the surgery that could save a life today.
