The Pan African Academy for Christian Surgeons, is operational in 6 African countries; Ethiopia, Kenya, Cameroon, Gabon, Niger and Egypt. There are more than 40 surgeons in the 5 year training program at this moment – committed to their work, committed to Christ. Twenty surgeons have completed their training at this stage and are working in rural Africa.
