BRAIN Global was founded in November 2013 by Francis Fezeu, MD, PhD, a Cameroonian-born neurosurgeon. The name BRAIN Global is the shortened form of BRinging Advanced care In Neuroscience to the Globe. It is a neurosurgeon initiative for the promotion of worldwide access to standard care in neuroscience with a special focus on resource-limited countries (RLC).
According to the ultimate goal of medicine of treating people, BRAIN Global will act specifically at the level of policy-makers (e.g., World Health Organisation, World Federation of Neurological Surgery, Non-Governmental Organization) for the implementation of guidelines that would lead to the introduction of standard medical care to resource-limited countries in the field of neuroscience. Equipped with knowledge about the reality of life in underserved countries, experience in different continents, special skills in medical science, as well as a strong will, the association’s main activities and aims are focused on training and further education, health projects in RLC, integration of experts, global partnership and exchanges with other disciplines.
