Every stroke patient deserves access to expert care. At the Frederick Foundation, we’re working to transform stroke treatment in Nigeria, starting with the Acute Stroke Unit at University College Hospital, Ibadan. Your support helps us fund essential equipment, life-saving medications, and diagnostic imaging for patients who cannot afford care. Just as importantly, we’re empowering local healthcare professionals through hands-on training and knowledge exchange with leading experts in Oxford.
We’re raising £1 million to strengthen stroke care in Ibadan, and another £1 million to support long-term academic and clinical collaboration between Ibadan and Oxford Medical Schools — beginning with a student exchange in 2025. With your help, we can break down the barriers to treatment and build a lasting legacy of better care. Join us in making that future possible.
Your donation could help cover the critical costs of brain imaging and diagnostics, which many patients cannot afford, ensuring timely and appropriate treatment. In general, these donations will assist in covering medication, rehabilitation, and acute care services for those who cannot afford them.
Donations will help purchase medical equipment and supplies such as essential tools, monitors, and beds to help establish a new acute stroke unit. Moreover, the donations will support the development of training programs, protocols, and patient education materials.
Medical staff visits will help bring healthcare professionals from Nigeria to the UK in to train in advanced stroke care practices at Oxford hospitals. Additionally, sponsoring academic exchanges will enable medical students and researchers to participate in collaborative programs between Ibadan and Oxford.
Support efforts to track patient outcomes and evaluate the effectiveness of new practices, helping to build a robust, evidence-based care model. Monitoring stroke outcomes and collecting relevant data can help lead to innovation in stroke care. The funding will lead to collaborative studies into stroke and other neurological diseases, contributing to long-term improvements in care.
