A group of four Guineans doctors, including the author, received a scholarship from the World Federation of Neurosurgical society (WFNS) under the direction of Professor Samii, as part of the "Africa 100" project. This training facilitated their participation in specialized training programs in Algeria, aimed at enhancing their capabilities in patient care. These training opportunities provided access to advanced medical technologies and modern surgical techniques that are often unavailable in Guinea. Furthermore, the training centers promoted the exchange of knowledge between Guinean doctors and international experts, enabling the sharing of best practices in neurosurgical management. The training in Algeria were pivotal in developing the technical skills, complex case management abilities, and rapid decision-making crucial for handling emergencies among the participating Guinean neurosurgeons. The international expertise gained through these experiences is expected to significantly improve the quality of care provided to patients in Guinea by enabling the adaptation of care protocols to local conditions while integrating international standards. Additionally, participating in these fellowship programs abroad allowed the Guinean doctors to establish professional networks with colleagues from other countries, providing access to valuable resources, research collaborations, and expert advice for managing complex cases. Upon returning to Guinea, these neurosurgeons can share their newly acquired knowledge and skills with their peers, thereby contributing to the overall enhancement of neurosurgical practices at a national level.
