We partner with national governments and local partners to develop neuroscience care in West Africa.

“You probably have more neurosurgeons in Vancouver than I have in the whole of Ghana. We have only 25 neurosurgeons for a population of 33 million. We need to support each other, so we can build upon this, because these lives also matter.”

— Dr. Harry Akoto, Neurosurgeon, Deputy Medical Director, Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Ghana on the NEED FOR NEUROSURGEONS

OUR PURPOSE is to enhance the delivery and quality of healthcare in West Africa.

OUR FOCUS is to develop fully equipped, staffed, and self-sustaining neurosience programs and facilities.

  • In 2024, KBNF shipped 7 containers with medical equipment + supplies to 3 West African countries

  • In 2024, KBNF volunteers spent more than 4,780 hours giving back.

  • Medical professionals in scrubs, masks, and gloves working in an operating room with surgical instruments and equipment.

    In 2024, we conducted 2 Neurosurgical Advancement Trips and 35 patients received life-changing surgeries.

  • 110 nurses received in-person training in neuro-specific care, wound care, patient rotation and pain management.
