Our Mission
Mission:BRAIN expands access to safe, life-saving neurosurgical care for patients who would otherwise go untreated. We partner with hospitals, train local teams, and strengthen systems so every patient — no matter where they live — has a chance at high-quality care.
Our work combines surgical missions, education, mentorship, and capacity-building. We support surgeons, trainees, and nurses through hands-on training, research programs, and long-term collaborations that grow local expertise. At the same time, we connect a global network of volunteers and partner hospitals to deliver care in underserved regions and build solutions that last.
Everything we do is driven by equity, compassion, and the belief that specialized care should never depend on geography or income.

United Nations Sustainable Development Goals
Mission:BRAIN strengthens access to safe neurosurgical care in underserved regions through clinical support, education, and long-term capacity building. The impact of this work connects directly with several key Global Goals: • Good Health and Well-Being: Expanding access to neurosurgical services, supporting local providers, and reducing preventable disability through mission trips, telemedicine, and training. • Quality Education: Building skills through workshops, mentorship, and structured research and leadership programs for students, residents, and surgeons. • Gender Equality: Advancing women in neurosurgery through WINGS, providing mentorship, visibility, leadership pathways, and opportunities for growth. • Reduced Inequalities: Focusing on regions with limited resources to close gaps in access to care, training, and medical infrastructure. • Partnerships for the Goals: Collaborating with hospitals, universities, NGOs, medical societies, and local governments to scale impact and build sustainable change.
