Teo2004

Teo2004 is a French association dedicated to improving care for infants and children in low-income countries who have neurosurgical conditions. The organization addresses situations in which children may die or experience severe disability because appropriate treatment and resources are unavailable locally. Its approach prioritizes surgical missions in partner countries, where visiting teams work alongside local doctors. This model provides treatment while supporting practical knowledge-sharing and medical training. When care in France is necessary, Teo2004 also helps bring children for treatment and supports their return to their families, including by assisting and training the clinicians who care for them in challenging conditions.

The association’s activities include consultations, pediatric neurosurgery, surgical and medical teaching, and nursing care and instruction. It collaborates with French pediatric neurosurgeons and invites supporters to join or donate toward its work. Teo2004 also shares news, testimonials, interviews, educational materials, and information about its missions. Its website reports that Air France has supported the association since 2008 by providing complimentary long-haul flights.
