The African Stroke Organization has been inaugurated as a pan-African coalition of stroke researchers, clinicians, allied health-care professionals, national and regional stroke societies and stroke support organizations in response to the escalating burden of stroke in the continent.
The World Stroke Organization (WSO) has been supporting this African initiative with enthusiasm and proudly witnessed the recent inaugural meeting of the ASO.

Achieving our vision of a life free from stroke is a task that WSO cannot achieve alone. We are committed to building our partnerships at the global, regional and national level to scale up and deliver improvements in prevention, treatment and support to reduce the burden of stroke.
