The video was commissioned by SFIA: Spine Fixed In Abuja, as part of our corporate social responsibility and commitment towards better health for all Nigerians. We remain committed to the ethos of preventive health care strategies and developing local solutions.

We hope that all Nigerians will see this video and imbibe the message about stroke. Stroke is unrecognized as a major killer in Nigeria and currently not accorded the inglorious respect it deserves. Stroke maims and kills in Nigeria and anyone can be affected.

With stroke urgent transfer and treatment in a hospital or better still, a stroke centre is directly related to good outcome. Treatment in a church, mosque or herbalist home may be accompanied by short term gain but ultimately futile waste of money. Stroke is not due to witch craft and simply due to hypertension causing lack of blood going to the brain. Reopening the blocked vessels can be done effectively in the hospital.

We need to increase the advocacy and everyone should lend their voices.
