🌍 #BarrowGlobal update: Our Barrow Global team recently visited Kilimanjaro Christian Medical Centre (KCMC) in Tanzania, East Africa, continuing our groundbreaking neurosurgical partnership established in 2022. Before, KCMC didn't have a neurosurgical training program, meaning general surgeons handled complex cases.

Thanks to the Franke family in establishing the Franke Global Neuroscience Education Center at Barrow Neurological Institute, Barrow is implementing a "Train Forward" model, bringing Western neuroscience specialists to developing nations for extended in-country training.

🧠 Did you know that #neurology is one of the most pivotal medical fields because it focuses on the 'command center' that controls every bodily function, from movement and thought to sensation and organ regulation? This field is a lifeline for millions who suffer from neurological conditions and a driving force in medical research and innovation. Without it, the ability to diagnose, treat, and understand brain, spine, and nerve-related diseases would be severely limited.
