It was five informative and interesting days – the first Help-in-Hand “Painless 2025” course took place in Berlin.

Shortly before the pandemic, Dr Horaczek and Robert Chevara had the idea of setting up their own aid project after doing charity work in a clinic for destitute people in Bagan (Myanmar).

Under the name “Help-in-Hand“, doctors from developing countries would be given the opportunity to receive sound and practical training in pain therapy procedures. To this end, Dr Horaczek developed a completely new teaching concept that combines training in Berlin with digital media and on-site support in the home country.

Dr Horaczek used his contacts with leading neurosurgical colleagues in several countries in Africa and Asia, and together they selected suitable candidates.

After the COVID-19 epidemic interrupted the project, Dr Horaczek and his practice partners from Inter Neuro, Dr Muskala and PD Dr Bayerl, have now successfully completed the first 5-day course with six doctors from Kenya, Nigeria, and the Philippines.

The feedback was overwhelming, and the next course is already being planned.
Many thanks to Robert Chevara and the entire Inter Neuro team, as well as everyone else who put their heart and soul into this project, especially Ms. Klinger and Ms. Wiese, without whom this project would not have been possible.
