Czech Traumatology Team Completed another MEDEVAC Mission in Cape Coast

From 27 October to 6 November 2026, a six-member traumatology and orthopaedic team from Královské Vinohrady University Hospital carried out a medical mission at Cape Coast Teaching Hospital. The Czech specialists provided care to patients with complex conditions and shared their expertise with Ghanaian healthcare professionals.

The team, led by Professor Jiří Skála-Rosenbaum, comprised four doctors and two nurses. During the mission, the Czech specialists performed complex procedures on patients whose injuries and conditions had significantly restricted their mobility. The patients included children and people requiring specialised treatment for cases that presented particular medical challenges.

An important part of the mission was cooperation with healthcare professionals from Cape Coast Teaching Hospital. Czech and Ghanaian specialists worked together during the procedures, allowing the team to share surgical techniques, practical know-how and experience in treating complex trauma cases.

At the end of the mission, the Czech team donated a set of high-quality surgical instruments to junior surgeons at Cape Coast Teaching Hospital. The instruments will support their clinical practice and further professional development.

The mission took place under the Medical Humanitarian Programme MEDEVAC, a permanent programme of Czechia coordinated by the Ministry of the Interior of the Czech Republic. In addition to sending Czech medical teams abroad, MEDEVAC supports the development of local healthcare capacities. The programme also enables Ghanaian doctors to undertake specialised fellowships at leading Czech hospitals.
