GEANCO Foundation, The

Organizes special surgical missions and runs a program to fight anemia and help vulnerable pregnant women safely deliver healthy babies in Nigeria.

Overview

MEDICAL MISSIONS

Over 200 needy Nigerians have received hip and knee replacements and bone fracture repairs through our surgical missions.

In addition, we donated a SIGN Fracture Care System to a university teaching hospital in Anambra State and trained local Nigerian surgeons on its use. They now repair serious bone fractures on a regular basis in a simple, inexpensive and sustainable way.

 

In 2018, we extended our reach to laparoscopic surgery. We now perform minimally-invasive gallbladder, hernia, and appendix surgeries on poor patients, train local surgeons and medical school students, and donate specialized equipment and instruments to our host hospital.

 

Our missions are led by skilled, compassionate American medical professionals from all over the country. Not only do they donate their time and expertise, they also personally raise funds to help cover mission expenses.
