Dr Horaczek is currently in the Philippines, where he is delivering the third and final module of the ‘Help-in-Hand’ course on minimally invasive pain management, which he initiated, at the Philippine General Hospital (PGH) in Manila.
The aim of this special training programme is to provide doctors from developing countries with free, practical training in the field of minimally invasive spinal pain management. These modern techniques can help many patients to treat pain gently and effectively.
The main module of the first course took place in mid-2025 at our practice premises in Berlin and was conducted in collaboration with the Inter Neuro team.
In this concluding module, the focus is on supporting participants in introducing the techniques they have learnt at their respective home hospitals. This ensures that the knowledge is applied sustainably and that patients in the local area can benefit in the long term.
During his visit, Dr Horaczek also delivered the opening lecture of the newly established ‘Padayon’ lecture programme at PGH Manila. This programme represents a new platform for specialised medical training and promotes international professional exchange.
