About ASOC

The African Stroke Organization Conference (ASOC) 2024 will be the fourth dedicated cross-national annual scientific forum focused on cerebrovascular disease in Africa, with the overarching goal of bringing together key stakeholders, identifying gaps in knowledge, setting priorities for stroke prevention, care delivery & research, and accelerating the translation of research findings to improve stroke outcomes in the region.

ASOC is a collaborative initiative with the World Stroke Organization, World Federation for Neurorehab, Global Alliance for Chronic Diseases, World Hypertension League, African Academy of Sciences, Society of Neuroscientists of Africa, African Governments, local universities & hospitals, & Patient Support Groups. Various partners will provide financial & in-kind logistics and personnel to support the successful execution of ASOC.
