The neurosurgery initiative focuses on addressing the surge of war-related neurosurgical/neurological trauma in Ukraine. This partnership with Memorial Hermann Hospital Mischer Neuroscience Institute, led by Dr. Mark Dannenbaum, aims to enhance the capabilities of Ukrainian neurosurgeons in treating traumatic brain injuries (TBI), spinal injuries, and nerve damage.

GMKA’s vision is to expand on the outstanding current work being done with Memorial Hermann. Together we are exploring the establishment of a Center of Excellence.

Assessed areas of the highest priority for Ukrainian neurosurgery. Completed a program development plan with leaders at Memorial Hermann.

Launched online webinar series on topics including Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBI), spine injuries, and skull fractures for ~350 Ukrainian clinicians.

Case-based discussions and in-depth training for a selected group of ~50 highly-motivated neurosurgeons.

Together we are exploring the establishment of a COE. Working on identifying specialty areas.

Facilitate 4-6 week clinical observerships at Memorial Hermann Hospital for 10-15 Ukrainian neurosurgeons.
