Cerebral palsy in African paediatric populations: A scoping review

202415 citationsOpen accessMakerere University

Abstract

The prevalence of CP in Africa remains uncertain. African children with CP have different risk profiles, greater premature mortality, and more severe functional impairments and comorbidities compared to the Global North. Several barriers prevent access to optimal care. Larger African studies on validated and effective interventions are needed.
