Petrides Athanasios

I was born in Germany, but I lived part of my childhood

in Serres. Then we emigrated again to Germany. I gave

qualifying exams in Germany, and I managed to get into the

Medical school of the University of Cologne. After I graduated,

I completed my doctoral thesis at the same university, on the

Iology. This was followed by my residency in neurosurgery, at

Kiel University. From 2000 to 2012 I worked at Kiel, while

In between, from 2002 to 2005, I worked in the research sector of the

neurosciences at Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, New

York (USA). After completing my residency, from 2012 to 2015,

I worked as head of the oncological neurosurgical unit at the

Duisburg General Hospital. From 2015 to 2021, I was

chief vascular and neurosurgeon at the University of Düsseldorf. From

in 2021 I am an associate of the Clinic "St. Lucas".

In the context of my voluntary work, I offered with my knowledge and

my experience, in the Sustainable Improvement of Health Care project

care, in Cameroon. This programme aims to

training of neurosurgeons of the University of Cameroon, on the

neurosurgery.

This action, initiated by ARZT hilft e.V. and BRAIN-

GLOBAL, will last about 4 years, and will allow significant

improving the techniques of neurosurgeons in Cameroon, in operations

of the brain and spinal cord. After the end of the program,

we will expand to all countries in sub-Saharan Africa, with the aim of

local neurosurgeons to be able to perform operations

autonomously, and not be dependent on Western neurosurgeons.

My vision is to ensure equality in the provision of medical care

care, all over the world. And that will be achieved if we help the

countries that are lagging behind in the health sector, training doctors

in these countries. So they will be able to treat any disease,

without depending on doctors from other countries.
