Why This Matters
The data gap in African neurology
Parkinson's disease affects millions across Africa, yet the continent contributes less than 1% of global research data.
Clinical trials rarely include African populations. Treatment protocols aren't tailored to local genetics. Disease patterns remain undocumented.
PMAN changes this by creating a unified, standardized repository ensuring African patients are represented in global research.
Clinical Trials Exclusion
African populations systematically underrepresented in research.
Generic Protocols
Treatment guidelines don't account for local factors.
Undocumented Patterns
Disease progression data remains unknown.
