For the third consecutive year, members of our MGB Neurosurgery Global Health Program traveled to West Africa to collaborate with local teams in expanding access to neurosurgical care.
This year marked the team’s first visit to Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Accra, Ghana, with a focus on endoscopic endonasal pituitary surgery and epilepsy surgery.
Congratulations to every member of this incredible team for their dedication, partnership, and commitment to advancing global neurosurgery. And a massive thank you to all of the sponsors and partners who make this work possible #globalneurosurgery
