Who We Are
Stroke Survivor’s Support & Rehabilitation Club of Nigeria:
We’re here to support people to rebuild their lives after stroke.
How We Got Started
A meeting of the Nigerian Society of Physiotherapists (OGNSP), Ogun State Chapter Executives was held on the 14th of July 2007, at the Physiotherapy Department Ijebu Ode, where it was suggested that the association should further extend their services to stroke survivors. After much deliberations, the excos came to the the conclusion to establish a support group for stroke survivors and their informal caregivers.
The club is meant to represent the interest of those that have survived stroke and other disabling conditions and those caring for them (close relatives), to be a voice to those living with stroke and dead stroke victims.
Our Mission Statement
Improving the quality of life of stroke survivors in the presence of their disabling conditions.

Our Programs
We embark on various projects and campaigns to create public awareness on stroke causes, symptoms and survival mechanisms. Our aim is to make people know that stroke can happen to anybody – young or old, and when it does it doesn’t have to be a death sentence if proper treatment and support is given.
Annual World Stroke Day
World Stroke Day is observed on October 29 to underscore the serious nature and high rates of stroke, raise awareness of the prevention and treatment of the condition, and ensure better care and support for survivors.
