The three pillars of our mission:
Treat.
We are dedicated to bridging the gap in neurosurgical care by leveraging the expertise of our volunteer team. In partnership with local providers, we treat patients free of charge and supply the necessary resources, addressing the lack of access to essential neurosurgical treatments in underserved regions.
Educate.
We focus on maximizing impact through education and training. By partnering to exchange knowledge and collaborate on research, we create sustainable, long-term progress that benefits both sides, fostering mutual learning and inspiration.
Empower.
We are a community and a movement, empowering patients to live lives full of possibilities. Together with our colleagues, partners, students, and volunteers, we aspire to improve care, inspire better practices, and shape brighter futures.

Harnessing the Metaverse and AR
Enabling &Â Advocating Sustainability
Building strong foundations for lasting neurosurgical capacity.
Our goal is to establish sustainable frameworks that enable global neurosurgical care. By partnering with local institutions, we help build the infrastructure needed to improve access to neurosurgery, ensuring that care systems remain effective long after our direct involvement.
Inspiring the next wave of innovators and caregivers
We focus on training the next generation of neurosurgeons and healthcare professionals. Through hands-on mentorship and knowledge-sharing, we aim to equip students and young professionals with the skills and confidence to provide high-quality care in their own communities.
Pushing the boundaries of what's possible with new technologies
Artificial intelligence is transforming neurosurgery, and we’re at the forefront of this revolution. Our mission is to integrate cutting-edge AI tools to enhance diagnosis, surgical precision, and post-operative care, making neurosurgery more effective and accessible in underserved areas.
Revolutionizing education with immersive, virtual learning tools
We believe in the potential of augmented reality (AR) and the metaverse to revolutionize medical training and patient care. By utilizing these technologies, we aim to offer immersive surgical training experiences and extend medical education to regions with limited access to traditional resources.
Long-term impact with sustainable care and technology
We ensure lasting impact by training local caregivers to deliver post-operative support. By equipping them with sustainable practices and technologies, we create healthcare systems that thrive long after our teams have left. Our approach focuses on fostering self-sufficiency and minimizing environmental impact through energy-efficient tools and sustainable medical resources.
Our Journey: Making Neurosurgery Accessible Worldwide
Mission Brain is dedicated to introducing neurosurgery to underdeveloped and underserved countries. Through our chapters and a variety of activities, we aim to provide access to life-saving neurosurgical care to those in need. Our mission is to empower communities, improve healthcare infrastructure, and save lives.
Our Beginnings
Mission Brain was founded with the goal of bringing neurosurgery to underserved regions. Our team of dedicated volunteers and medical professionals have since worked tirelessly to make this vision a reality.
Expanding Our Reach
Over the years, Mission Brain has expanded its operations to multiple countries, establishing chapters and collaborating with local healthcare providers. Together, we strive to make neurosurgical care accessible to all. We placed the first neurosurgeon in South Sudan.
Future Goals
Looking ahead, Mission Brain aims to continue expanding its reach, establishing more chapters and partnerships to provide neurosurgical care to even more underserved communities. Our long-term goal is to create sustainable healthcare systems that prioritize neurosurgery.
Impact So Far
Since our inception, Mission Brain has performed over 1,000 neurosurgical procedures, transforming the lives of patients and their families. We continue to make a lasting impact in the communities we serve. We placed the first neurosurgeon in South Sudan, and we've got plenty more to tell you about. Check out our leaning center.
