Emergency Relief for Bahía Blanca, Argentina ???? On March 7th, the city of Bahía Blanca, home to over 300,000 inhabitants, suffered a devastating flood that impacted thousands of people. The disaster resulted in loss of life, missing persons, and severe damage to homes and vehicles — even hospitals were affected. Hospital Penna, one of the main healthcare centers in the area, was heavily impacted. Newborns had to be urgently evacuated, and even the ambulances used for transfers sustained damage. We are collecting funds through Mission: Brain to support the urgent response and provide immediate relief to those affected in Argentina. ?? Your help can make a difference. Please consider donating and sharing this message to support those in need during this catastrophe.

?? Be a Part of the Social Change in Neurosurgical Care! What is Global Neurosurgery? ? Global Neurosurgery integrates clinical expertise with public health, ensuring that timely, safe, and affordable neurosurgical care is accessible to everyone—regardless of geography or socioeconomic status. ? While mission trips, education, and research collaborations have driven progress, a unified global effort is still needed. Since the 2016 Bogotá Declaration, Global Neurosurgery has grown into a recognized subspecialty, yet critical gaps remain—particularly in workforce capacity, advocacy, and equitable access to care in low- and middle-income countries. ?? The Time to Take ACTION is NOW! ? Unite with global healthcare leaders ? Advocate for equitable neurosurgical care ? Expand access & transform patient outcomes ? Empower the next generation of neurosurgical professionals It’s time to harness our COLLECTIVE POWER as NURSES to drive lasting change! ?? Join us and be part of the movement shaping the future of Global Neurosurgery!
