History


Medicine is not only a science but also an art. The mission of physicians is to provide the best health care available to their patients, using their knowledge, strength, compassion and available resources. With this in mind "How can fellow physicians in Peru provide the care needed by their patients when they are practicing in a health care system that is both economically and physically deprived of instruments, equipment and opportunities to be trained on the latest developments within their specialized field?"

 Knowing these facts Dr. Anselmo Pineda, created the Neurosurgical Peruvian American Foundation. The purpose of the Foundation is to provide educational programs for the advancement of Neurosurgery in Peru and to cultivate opportunities for Peruvian neurosurgeons to utilize the latest available techniques for the benefit of their patients. NPAF was established 1996 under the California Secretary of States as a non profit Charitable Foundation with an IRS identification of a section 501(c)(3).

The Foundation is sponsored and endorsed, in the Unites State by: the Foundation International Education Neurological Surgery (FIENS), the Foundation for International Development (FIND), the International Committee of the Congress of Neurological Surgeon (CNS) and the Neurosurgical Education World Federation Neurosurgical Society (WFNS). In Peru, the NPAF is recognized by the Colegio Medico del Peru, Facultad de Medicina Universidad Peruana Cayetano Heredia, Facultad de Medicina Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Academia Peruana de Cirugia, Sociedad Peruana de Neurocirugia, the Asociacion Peruana de Cirugia Vertebral and the Institute EsSalud.

In addition, the NPAF has established several agreements with national hospitals and universities in Peru.

Dr. Pineda as Chairman of the Board has dedicated time and efforts to promote the goals of the Foundation. By encouraging young Peruvian neurosurgeons to continue their search for knowledge and persist in their dedication to provide the best health care available for their patients, the foundation is contributing to the progress of Neurosurgery in Peru.
