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.

Dr. Matekeya Hicks Green*Tenwek Hospital, KenyaI was driven to PAACS during medical school when I went to Tenwek Hospital for my electives. I witnessed a different kind of healthcare. Here, residents and attendings with PAACS provided medical expertise and compassionate, prayerful care for their patients. It was something I had never seen before.
