Founded in 2017, the Brain Project is a 501(c)(3) non-

profit organization comprised of board-certified US

neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, dental surgeons, and

other medical professionals. Our coalition is dedicated to

enriching the healthcare ecosystem across Africa by

partnering with regional hospitals and medical centers to

build reliable healthcare systems that service and support

underserved communities.

The mission of the foundation is to prove through rigorous

medical practices and growth that there is measurable

economic value in providing vital health care.

The FoundationWe aim to be the backbone of Africa’s Healthcare Ecosystem.

How We Do It

Free Medical Procedures

We partner with local hospitals and clinics to perform free brain and spinal corrective procedures for prequalified patients. We also perform preventive checkups and exams.

Provide Medical Supplies

To ensure our partners are self-sustainable and able to provide a high standard of medical care, we donate medical equipment, supplies, and resources.

Knowledge Transfer

We believe in empowering through education. During each outreach we conduct educational sessions to share best practices, and provide tools and equipment training with local professionals.
