Ananse in Ghana
Initially the foundation was started to give on a regular basis urological health care.
This because the urologists travelled to these counties to give free medical care or to stay on a semi permanent basis.
Gradually the emphasis of the foundation turned to education so that Ghana's doctors could give the health care themselves.
The first congress was held in Kumasi in 2004 where both the Erasmus university (Netherland) and Medical centre (Ghana) took part. This was the first milestone in the transmission of the needed knowledge.
In 2009, led by the Urologic Training Institute, 7 physician assistants and 3 urologists came to Ghana for a congress tropical urology with the aim to learn about urology and share knowledge with Ghanaian doctors by giving presentations.
Working together with the Ghana Health System there is a hospital being built in central Ghana specifically for urological health care. In the future Ghanees doctors and young surgeons will be schooled in the specialism urology.
