Neurosurgery, or neurological surgery, is the medical specialty concerned with the prevention,
diagnosis, surgical treatment, and rehabilitation of disorders which affect any portion of the
nervous system including the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and extra-cranial
cerebrovascular system. PCRF sponsors volunteer surgery teams from all over the world in
this specialty, both in pediatric neurosurgery as well as general neurosurgery, working mainly
at Rafidiah Hospital in Nablus, the Palestine Medical Complex in Ramallah, and the European Gaza
Hospital in Khan Younis. The head of our neurosurgery medical advisory team is Prof. Alex
Zorous, the chief of pediatric neurosurgery at St. Luke's Children's Hospital in Boise,
ID.
