挑战
在有限的神经外科手术的地方，未经治疗的脑积水的儿童通常无法生存或遭受严重的认知障碍。传统的脑积水（分流器插入）既昂贵又需要持续的医疗监测，从而超出了发展中国家的大多数儿童的范围。我们从哪里开始
波士顿儿童医院的新生儿和先天性异常神经外科计划主任本杰明·沃夫（Benjamin Warf）成为医学院的医学主任兼外科董事，并在乌干达东部一个偏远小镇的治疗儿童医院（Cure Childre欧宝彩票平台s Hospital of Hospital of Surgery）遇到了很高的脑力头。小儿神经外科医生WARF博士彻底改变了非常年幼的儿童颅内疾病的治疗，尤其是Spina Bifida和Hydrocephalus（“大脑的水”）。我们的影响
In response to the挑战
治疗脑积水的年代在乌干达,博士Warfπoneered a low-cost alternative. In carefully designed clinical trials, he demonstrated that a relatively straightforward, one-time treatment using modern endoscopic techniques results in outcomes that are at least as safe and effective as ventricular shunts, but requires far less medical infrastructure and post-surgical maintenance. This innovative idea has now become standard practice globally, including at Boston Children’s Hospital. Dr. Warf has also designed a training program and network for neurosurgeons throughout Africa, Asia and the Middle East, increasing exponentially the number of children who can now be treated using his method. He also helped form the PUSH! Global Alliance as a platform for organizations to advance treatment and care to those affected by spina bifida and hydrocephalus worldwide.你可以有所作为
