The Story

Originally from Kenya, Dr Raore left his home and family to attend college in the US. As a trainee in neurosurgery, Dr Raore returned to Kenya and while working at various hospitals he came to terms with the serious shortage of neurosurgical care.

Over the last 10 years, has made several neurosurgical mission trips performing a range of brain and spinal surgeries. In 2013 he served as a short-term neurosurgical missionary for Samaritan’s Purse International Relief.

In 2018, along with a group of other neurosurgeons, he founded the Kisumu Neuroscience Initiative. This organization is focused to bring neurosurgical care to millions of people in western Kenya who do not have access to neurosurgical services. They achieve this through a frequent rotation among the group of neurosurgeons, cooperating with local surgeons and training local surgeons.

So far, they have completed close to 200 brain and spine surgeries. In addition to supporting his organization, he is active with the Pan-African Academy of Christian Surgeons (PAACS) where he is part of the volunteer neurosurgery faculty.

Dr Raore had humble beginnings and to achieve all that he has, he has been a recipient of much kindness. He is confident that kindness in not only a responsibility but a way to make the world a better place.
