Redefining primary
trauma care.
A multidisciplinary coalition equipping traditional bone setters with modern scientific protocols across the rural and urban sectors of Ghana.
Elevating tradition
with medical precision.
To train all persons involved in traditional bone setting with the goal of improving the quality of fracture care and minimizing fracture-related complications in Ghana. We are committed to strengthening fracture care by building the capacity of traditional bonesetters.
The Journey Began
A simple 'ice-breaking' meeting in Kumasi sparked a nationwide collaboration. Today, we bridge tradition and modern medical science, empowering local practitioners and safeguarding patient outcomes.
Founded
on
Collaboration.
Since our first 'ice-breaking' meeting in Kumasi back in 2019, the Ghana TBS Project has evolved from a small local initiative into a nationwide movement involving the Ministry of Health and international partners like the AO Alliance Foundation.
"Each training course ends with establishing a referral pathway to local hospitals, bridging the gap between tradition and modern science."
Quantifiable Impact
in Primary Trauma Care.
As of 30th January 2026, a marked improvement with a notable reduction in TBS-related complications presenting at the hospital after training. Trained TBSs now demonstrate improved judgment by referring complex cases to hospital care.
