The Reality in Accra

The ticking time bomb of an untreated aneurysm.

Aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is a devastating, life-threatening bleed in the brain. At the Korle Bu Teaching Hospital in Ghana, the local surgical teams face an agonizing reality.

Every year, patients survive the initial catastrophic bleed and are successfully resuscitated. Yet, because of a critical lack of highly specialized equipment and subspecialty neurovascular training, they are discharged without definitive treatment.

Without microsurgical aneurysm clipping, these patients are sent home carrying a ticking time bomb—leaving them at imminent, constant, and highly fatal risk of a re-bleed. This is a solvable crisis of resources, not a hopeless tragedy.

The HAIDN Intervention

A Sustainable, Longitudinal Architecture

We are moving explicitly beyond short-term, episodic "voluntourism" medical missions. Our objective is to deliver lasting infrastructural change through a three-phase capacity-building program.

Phase 1: Surgical Missions

2-3 UK multidisciplinary team visits per year. Led by Neurosurgeons, alongside fellows, neuroanaesthetists, and scrub nurses, we provide joint operating and intense, in-theatre mentoring directly to Ghanaian surgeons.

Phase 2: Equipment Support

The permanent provision of dedicated aneurysm clips and maintenance of applicator systems. We ensure reliable access to essential titanium clips and instruments, allowing local teams to operate safely and independently between and beyond UK visits.

Phase 3: Fellowship Exchange

A highly structured bidirectional program. We bring Ghanaian neurosurgeons to the UK for neurovascular exposure, while sending UK neurosurgeons and fellows to Ghana to foster leadership in global neurosurgery.

The Impact of Philanthropy

Tangible Giving, Measurable Lives

Your capital translates directly into surgical intervention. See exactly what your funding secures.

🇬🇧

UK Taxpayers: All donations are eligible for a 25% Gift Aid boost. This maximizes your impact, allowing us to procure more lifesaving equipment at absolutely no extra cost to you.

£50

The Critical Clip

Provides a single, highly specialized Titanium Aneurysm Clip. This is the exact piece of hardware required to physically secure a ruptured vessel and prevent a fatal re-bleed. One clip saves one life.

£100

The Operative Tool

Funds a surgical applicator system and sterile operative sets. These are the essential, precision tools the local surgical team requires to accurately place the clips during highly delicate microsurgery.

£500+

The Fellowship Fund

Directly funds the travel, accommodation, and structural costs for a local Ghanaian surgeon's intensive 3-month fellowship training in the UK. This is an investment in generational knowledge transfer.
