About This Project

The Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons (PAACS) is a strategic response to the need for African surgeons. We are a non-denominational, multinational service organization training African physicians to become surgeons who are willing to remain in Africa to meet this need. PAACS also disciples these residents to share the love and gospel of Jesus Christ with their patients. These residents' surgical and spiritual training is offered at several well-established evangelical mission hospitals in Africa under the direction of experienced, board-certified missionary surgeons.
