The Brain Project

The Brain Project (TBP) is a 501(C) organization aimed to prove through rigorous medical practices and growth that there is measurable economic value in providing vital health care to African communities.

Our Mission

Our mission is to be the backbone of Africa's Healthcare Ecosystem, starting with providing comprehensive, free brain and spinal surgeries, along with care from other medical specialties to those who would otherwise lack access to such treatment. Our skilled medical professionals provide free medical checkups, surgeries, medical equipment, and supplies. Additionally, they also educate local medical teams in these underserved regions and communities.

Our Team

Founded in 2017, The Brain Project is a coalition of board-certified neurosurgeons, orthopedic surgeons, dental surgeons, as well as many other medical specialists of African descent dedicated to building reliable healthcare systems that can service and support Africa.
