Description of request

Clinical assistance and training in the form of Hands-on training (observerships, exchange programs and teaching new skill-sets to trained Neurosurgeon) in high volume centers abroad, provision of intraoperative teaching tools, operating room equipment and surgical instruments and assistance with creating full research partnerships as well as establishing local research projects

There is need for the modern equipment types for the management of these specific conditions.

Having been exposed to these surgical approaches in training and fellowship, the technology is mostly lacking to provide the services. The services are offered but at a low scale.

The surgeon therefore needs refresher / update courses and hands-on training in centers where these services are offered in high volume in order to re-start or commence the practice fully in our region especially in Functional Neurosurgery (Epilepsy, pain, spasticity)

  1. Neuronavigation
  2. Ultrasonic aspiration devices
  3. Corticography / Brain mapping
