Beyond the operating room: Leadership that Saves

Mission Brain is dedicated to introducing neurosurgery to underdeveloped and underserved countries. Through our chapters and a variety of activities, we aim to provide access to life-saving neurosurgical care to those in need. Our mission is to empower communities, improve healthcare infrastructure, and save lives.

Our Beginnings

Mission Brain was founded with the goal of bringing neurosurgery to underserved regions. Our team of dedicated volunteers and medical professionals have since worked tirelessly to make this vision a reality.

Expanding Our Reach

Over the years, Mission Brain has expanded its operations to multiple countries, establishing chapters and collaborating with local healthcare providers. Together, we strive to make neurosurgical care accessible to all. We placed the first neurosurgeon in South Sudan.

Future Goals

Looking ahead, Mission Brain aims to continue expanding its reach, establishing more chapters and partnerships to provide neurosurgical care to even more underserved communities. Our long-term goal is to create sustainable healthcare systems that prioritize neurosurgery.
