Overview

FOCOS (The Foundation of Orthopedics and Complex Spine) is a non-profit organization established in 1998 by Dr. Oheneba Boachie-Adjei. The mission of FOCOS is to provide comprehensive, affordable orthopedic and spine care to underserved communities in Ghana and throughout West Africa.

With the indispensable assistance of over 1,800 donors who have contributed in excess of $10 million to date, FOCOS has evaluated thousands of patients from different parts of Africa and performed over 800 corrective orthopedic and joint procedures in Ghana for adult and pediatric populations.

The donations have also helped to build a 50 bed dedicated FOCOS Orthopedic Hospital and Rehabilitation Institute in Ghana which will be opened in late 2011. The FOCOS Hospital's mission is to provide comprehensive orthopedic services including diagnostics, imaging and laboratory, outpatient consultation and surgical care to adult and pediatric populations in Africa. FOCOS aspires to become the premier orthopedic teaching hospital in the sub Saharan Africa.
