Dr. Nii Boney Andrews is a noted neuro-surgeon, whose
expertise on a
patient was described by a medical
correspondent as a "Neurological First"
in Ghana:
"Medical
history and a surgical breakthrough occurred
in Tema on Monday, October 29, 2007.
"For the first time in Ghana and
perhaps sub-Saharan Africa, a patient had a
“brain pacemaker” placed deep within the
sensitive structures of the brain to stop
disabling abnormal movements.' "Dr. Andrews,
leading an international medical team, (the
brain team of Dr. Rick Schuurman and Dr.
Papain Van den Moncken both from the
Academic Medical Center of Amsterdam and Dr.
Philip Batiade of Frankfurt." performed the
delicate seven-hour operation at the Tema
International NeuroCenter (TIN) located
within the Narh-Bita Hospital in Tema,"
wrote the medical correspondent for the AMC
center.
