Cerebral Palsy Challenges in Nigeria: A Mother's Journey of Care and Advocacy

Credited from: BBC

  • Babatunde Fashola, a 22-year-old with cerebral palsy, requires lifelong care and has found a home at the Cerebral Palsy Centre in Lagos.
  • Cerebral palsy is among the most common neurological disorders in Nigeria, with over 700,000 cases reported, often caused by untreated neonatal jaundice.
  • Founder Nonye Nweke established the centre to find support for her daughter, Zimuzo, who has cerebral palsy, after facing stigma and isolation.
  • Currently, the centre cares for 12 children but has a waiting list of over 100, highlighting the lack of facilities and financial support in Nigeria.
  • The Oscar Project aims to improve diagnosis and treatment of neonatal jaundice to prevent cerebral palsy, seeking to equip health facilities across the country.
