READ MOREWe at Parkinson's Africa are here for you. We are a registered charity dedicated to supporting and empowering Africans affected by Parkinson's disease. As the first and only pan-African Parkinson's disease charity, we recognise that we have a special opportunity and a huge responsibility to advocate for the needs of all Africans affected by this condition. Our core belief is that everyone should have equitable access to the resources needed to make informed health decisions about this disease, therefore, we have made it our mission to find ways of improving that access for you, your loved ones, and all Africans affected by Parkinson's disease.
