7:02Now PlayingFoundation of Orthopaedics and Complex Spine (FOCOS) was established as a not –for‐profit organization to provide comprehensive, Orthopaedic care to underserved populations throughout Africa.
FOCOS Founder, Prof. Oheneba Boachie‐Adjei, and teams of medical volunteers travel to West Africa, Ghana in particular, several times each year to evaluate patients and perform surgeries.
For years, FOCOS volunteers coordinated with local hospitals to provide services to patients, but constant barriers led to the development of a permanent facility of its own.
The Hospital is a project of the Foundation of Orthopaedics and Complex Spine (FOCOS), a nonprofit organization established in 1998 by Prof. Oheneba Boachie‐Adjei and as an auxiliary of the foundation, FOCOS Hospital is sustained by donations, sponsorships and revenue generated internally through its outpatient and surgical operations.
