”Launching The First Centralised Nigerian National Stroke Registry on the World Stroke Day October 29 2025

Quality is not an accident, It is the result of an Intelligent Effort: John Ruskin
British Philosopher

We’re proud to announce the launch of the Nigerian National Stroke Registry (NNSR) — a nationwide, clinician-led initiative designed to improve understanding, management, and outcomes of stroke across the country.

Stroke remains the second leading cause of death in Nigeria with a probable estimate of 1000-2000 strokes per day and, yet the absence of a centralized data system has long hindered effective care and planning.

The NNSR aims to change this by collecting comprehensive, standardized data from hospitals and clinics nationwide — supporting better research, policy, and clinical practice.

This phased registry, governed by the Nigerian Stroke Organization (NSO) and Nigerian Society of Neurological Sciences will:

  • Document the true burden and outcomes of stroke in Nigeria
  • Drive data-informed care, prevention, and rehabilitation strategies
  • Support capacity building and advocacy for stroke services
  • Lay the foundation for collaborative research and innovation

By building this registry, we’re taking a vital step toward reducing stroke-related deaths and disability, improving patient outcomes, and strengthening Nigeria’s health system.

Join us as we build a future where every stroke counts and every life matters.

If you want to collaborate and support in whatever way.

Pls do reach me personally.

It’s a collective effort of everyone interested in improved stroke outcome in Nigeria
