With a focus primarily on Sub-Saharan Africa, in this episode we explore the challenges currently faced across the continent in accessing neurological care.  We’re joined by neurologists from the region as well as hearing from the WHO on the range of issues and barriers to care, from the low number of neurologists to the problem of stigma and discrimination. Our guests will be discussing how these challenges can be addressed through education, a holistic approach and understanding of the region and its population.  We’ll also be hearing first-hand what it’s like to live with a neurological disorder in Africa.
