About the African Stroke Organization - ASO

Leading the fight against stroke across Africa.

ASO unites health professionals, researchers, policymakers, and communities to reduce the burden of stroke. Through advocacy, research, and education, we build stronger systems and healthier lives across the continent.

Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability across the continent, yet access to prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation services remains limited. ASO was formed to provide a unified, evidence-based, and collaborative response.

We build capacity through training programs, regional conferences, and partnerships with global and local organizations.

Supporting Stroke Survivors, Families, and Communities

Beyond treatment, empowering recovery and dignity

At ASO, we know recovery continues after hospital care. Survivors and families need ongoing support. Through outreach, networks, and training, we empower caregivers and professionals to provide effective, compassionate care.
