The EANS Foundation is proud to actively support educational initiatives in the field of neurosurgery, helping to build stronger, more resilient healthcare systems around the world.
From 18-22 of May 2025, we supported financially and administratively First African Training Course in Neurosurgery, which took place in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, course Director – Ondra Petr, with local hosting at the Muhimbili Orthopaedic & Neurosurgery Institute.
For the first time, 94 young colleagues – the rising generation of neurosurgeons from across Africa – came together and were trained under the dedicated mentorship of 26 faculty members: 13 African experts and 13 respected European teachers in the field of neurosurgery.
The main focus of the course was «Vascular Neurosurgery & Skull Base» – the cornerstone for surgical innovation in Africa, with a curriculum democratically shaped by African & European neurosurgical leaders and endorsed by all continental societies.
As a result, Senior and junior neurosurgeons stood together – building bridges, overcoming borders, forging lifelong friendships, partnerships, and collaborations on a new continent.
Together, we are shaping the future of neurosurgery. Your contribution can help advance neurosurgical education across Africa. Scan or click the QR code below to support.
