Connecting Care

Barrow Global

Addressing neuroscience needs in the developing world is challenging, to say the least. Conditions like epilepsy, hydrocephalus, brain tumors, and traumatic brain injuries can leave an indelible mark across many global societies.

In 2021, Barrow Global was established to help address the healthcare needs of underserved populations worldwide. Buoyed by the legacy of Dr. Robert Spetzler, who has trained and inspired countless neurosurgeons across the globe, this learning environment has attracted more than 1,000 neuroscience physicians, advanced practice nurses, scientists, and students alike since 2007.

Every year since, a steady thrum has emerged, and it’s this: our healthcare systems are profoundly interconnected.

This is why the collaborative efforts of neurology, neurosurgery, neuro-rehabilitation, neuroradiology, and many more exemplify a unified commitment to advancing global health. Together, our clinicians leverage their collective knowledge and skills to address the global burden of neurological diseases and to push against the current boundaries in research, treatment, and rehabilitation.
