Two million surgeries are needed annually in Ghana

Provide pre and post operative virtual assessment with in person surgery

Indiginous populations in low income third world countries like Ghana

Using U.S and French board physicians to perform surgeries. The "Competiton" is not in our dictionary. We are here to serve and compliment all other missionaries. 

We are in discussion to attract board certified physicians. 

We need seed money and funds to start the pilot study

More than 5 billion patients need surgery and they are unable to meet this because of cost, surgeons availability and access to healthcare. With your help we can start providing services to low income countries in Sub-Saharan Africa with 2 million needed surgeries in Ghana, West Africa, according to world surgery 2030.

   • Improved Health Outcomes: Evaluate the post-surgery recovery rates and patient satisfaction.
   • Strengthened Healthcare Systems: Assess the impact on the local healthcare system's capacity to provide surgical care.

5. Impact:

   • Reduced Mortality and Morbidity: Measure the decrease in mortality rates and improvement in health outcomes.
   • Enhanced Socioeconomic Well-being: Assess the economic impact of improved health on individuals and communities.
   • Sustainable Healthcare Development: Evaluate the long-term sustainability and scalability of the intervention.

1. Improved Health Outcomes:

   • Impact Goal: Reduce the burden of disease and disability by providing access to essential surgeries.
   • Progress Measurement: Monitor post-surgery recovery rates, complication rates, and patient-reported outcomes to assess improvements in health status.

2. Enhanced Quality of Life:

   • Impact Goal: Improve patients' quality of life by alleviating pain, restoring functionality, and enabling them to engage in daily activities.
   • Progress Measurement: Conduct pre- and post-surgery assessments of patients' functional abilities, pain levels, and ability to perform daily tasks to gauge improvements in quality of life.

3. Reduced Mortality Rates:

   • Impact Goal: Decrease mortality rates associated with untreated or undertreated surgical conditions.
   • Progress Measurement: Track the number of lives saved as a result of timely access to surgical interventions, compared to mortality rates before the implementation of the program.

   • Progress Measurement: Assess improvements in healthcare infrastructure, surgical workforce capacity, and health system governance to gauge progress towards building a resilient healthcare system.

These impact goals reflect the broader societal changes and improvements in health outcomes that your solution aims to achieve. By measuring progress towards scheduling 720 surgeries per year, you can track the immediate outputs of the intervention and assess its contribution towards achieving these impactful outcomes.

We will be using a telehealth platform with EMR transfer capabilities

3 full time staff

1 year

Our team consists of U.S. Lebanese and Ghanaian citizens

We will provide pre and post operative services virtually with the local surgeons and perform in person surgeries in the host country with the help of visiting surgeons

The business model part of the project should be solidified in 1-3 years
