Team Neuro is a dedicated group of medical professionals working on opening the first neurosurgery center in the Techiman region of Ghana. At the end of February, we will head on our second medical mission to Ghana’s Holy Family Hospital to continue building the program and provide much-needed operations for children and adults in need of neurosurgical care.

Want to join me in making a difference? Any donation will help us provide life-changing care to patients who otherwise would not have access to this neurological treatment. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to our team. Please note: each team member has a goal of raising $2,500, if your team member has already hit their goal, consider spreading the love to another of our volunteers!

Our Work So Far:

In 2024, Team Neuro went on their first mission to Holy Family Hospital in Ghana and performed 28 complex, life-changing neurosurgeries. With your help, we can change even more lives this year and for many years to come. You can read more about our first mission here or watch below to learn more.

More About Team Neuro:

Since 2023, Team Neuro has worked with the physicians and administrative staff at the Holy Family Hospital in Techiman, Ghana to open the first neurosurgery center in that part of the country. The team completed our first mission in April 2024, where we provided 28 complex neurological surgeries within just one week to patients who otherwise would not have been able to access care. Our goal over the course of the next few years is to build the hospital’s neurosurgery program with continued training of the local staff and the donation of equipment to the center. It is our hope that this center can become a neurosurgery referral center for the other hospitals located in the central portion of Ghana.

More About Operation International:

Operation International is a secular, non-political, humanitarian organization founded in 1996 by Medhat Allam, MD; Ravi Kothuru, MD; and Robert Mineo, CRNA under the original name of International Surgical Mission Support. The founders aspired to offer free medical care to children and adults suffering from the lack of basic health care in poor countries.

In our quest to advance human rights ideas, Operation International provides free medical care to people in need — regardless of gender, cultural, ethnic, political or religious affiliations. To ensure that our efforts impact underserved communities for years to come, we also offer education and training to local health care workers during each of our medical missions, as well as improve hospitals’ infrastructure through equipment donation.

Team NY, the first Operation International team, made its maiden mission to Haiti in 1997, where the founders of the organization witnessed firsthand the devastating effects of poverty and inadequate medical care.

Since the beginning, our teams of doctors, clinicians, nurses, and aides have expanded to include over 200 medical professionals in multiple Chapters located throughout the United States, the UK, and Hong Kong.

In our many medical missions to date, we have directly impacted the lives of thousands of people by performing life-saving and life-changing surgeries including cancer surgeries, sight restoration surgeries, burn reconstructive surgeries, corrective surgeries for congenital anomalies such as clubfoot and cleft palate, and obstetric and gynecological surgeries.
