Our team is specifically focusing to improve awareness for health brain and nervous system for Arabic society due to limitation of arabic resource for public access. We are providing scientific information and advices to avoid neurological diseases and disorders, provide update about new researches to improve visibility of treatment options for the patients. 

​

• knowledge regarding risk factors then public can take protective measures as much as possible and change their lifestyle wherever it is possible 

• Remove myths from the society so they will approach the issues more realistically with positive attitude 

• provide information about facts, figures and encourage the society to put more resource for research activities  

• provide information needed regarding care and treatment options so the patients and caregivers will have more clarity to give informed decision 

• establish a communication platform among stakeholder (patients, carers, practitioners, researchers) to communicate, share experiences and support each other. 

​

In 2017 The International Brain Research Organization Global Advocacy Seed Grant is  awarded for the initiative and this enabled us efficiently promoting a reliable and easy to access resource for Arabic speakers regarding neurological disorders and up to date research literature in the neuroscience field.
