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 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.
Outreach Programme
We will be reaching out to residents in various communities within Abeokuta on a mass campaign. The goal of this outreach is to create awareness and to eradicate stroke by October 2021. You can join us or support us with your donations.
Radio Programme
A 13 week heath enlightenment programme. In 2013, the club embarked on a video documentary programme with the focus on publication sensitization and education. It featured brand spectrum expert on management and rehabilitation.
