‘Walk For the Bu’ is a 5KM Walkathon and fundraiser in Bear Creek Park. The event provides KBNF with the resources we need to continue making medical miracles in West Africa by delivering life-saving medical support.
Korle-Bu Neuroscience Foundation is a charity saving lives by tackling the most complicated medical conditions in West Africa and beyond: brain and spine.
Here’s How…
- Surgery: Performing neurosurgery for those with no other hope, through medical missions
- Supplies: Delivering medical equipment to hospitals and health centres on the front lines
- Support: Equipping local neurosurgeons and health workers through training, education and funding.
– This year, more than 5 million patients will have no access to qualified neurosurgeons – resulting in otherwise avoidable disability and death.
– Africa accounts for 15% of the global neurosurgical disease, but has access to less than 1% of the global neurosurgeon community while the US and Canada have 1 neurosurgeon for every 69,000 people…
– Africa has just one Neurosurgeon for every 2,028,000 people. Liberia has a single neurosurgeon for the entire country of 4.8 million.
KBNF wants to change these facts. Walk with us and help make a difference.
What we have accomplished so far:
- Transported 38+ shipping containers of medical equipment overseas, an estimated retail value of $17,100,000
- Partnered globally to facilitate the construction of a $213 Million USD modern hospital in Ghana
- Helped more than 600 neuroscience patients, and supported 10,000 others seeking medical care
- Directly supported 10 neurosurgeons and offered training to 2000+ local nurses and medic
Join us for a day of fun, food and helping make a difference!
