Resumen:
In the last 10 years, considerable work has been done to promote and
improve neurosurgical care in East Africa with the development of
national training programs, expansion of hospitals and creation of new
institutions, and the foundation of epidemiologic and cost-effectiveness
research. Many of the results have been accomplished through
collaboration with partners from abroad. This article is the third in a
series of articles that seek to provide readers with an understanding of
the development of neurosurgery in East Africa (Foundations), the
challenges that arise in providing neurosurgical care in developing
countries (Challenges), and an overview of traditional and novel
approaches to overcoming these challenges to improve healthcare in the
region (Innovations). In this article, we describe the ongoing programs
active in East Africa and their current priorities, and we outline
lessons learned and what is required to create self-sustained
neurosurgical service.
