Kenya: Tenwek Neurosurgery Residency Fund

1 in 2 million. That is the number of estimated neurosurgeons in Sub-Saharan Africa. The World Health Organization recommends 1 for every 200,000 people. This disparity means that most people in Africa in need of neurosurgical care have no access to it and are left to suffer or die. In January 2020, Tenwek Hospital began the first and only Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons neurosurgical training program in all of Africa. The mission of the program is to train African Christian doctors to become neurosurgeons and to use that skillset to share the love of Jesus with their patients in order to bring lasting hope in their time of suffering. The annual cost of training one resident is approximately $25,000, and beginning in January 2024, the program will have a total of six trainees. Your donation to this fund helps to ensure the continued training of these young men and women.
