What We Do
The Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons (PAACS) is a strategic response to the need for surgeons, anesthesiologists, and obstetrician/gynecologists in Africa. PAACS trains African physicians as surgeons and related specialists to care for the poor and the sick. PAACS also disciples these trainees to share the love of Christ with their patients to bring hope to those who are suffering.

You can help to save the lives of patients by supporting the training and discipleship of surgeons, anesthesiologists, and obstetrician/gynecologists in Africa.

I thank God for PAACS. God has impacted thousands through it and I am sure He saw me in His vision before I ever even thought about it. I am getting the best training in a spiritually rich environment, and I would choose this program over any in the world.
