Cerebral Palsy is a common neurologic problem in children and is reported as occurring in approximately 2-2.5 of 1000 live births globally. As is the case with many pediatric neurologic conditions, very little has been reported on this condition in the African context.

This discussion between Gloria and Pediatrician and Neonatologist at Massey Children's hospital, Dr Gbajo Odedina, aims to establish what cerebral Palsy is, the symptoms,  what has been reported on this condition from the African continent so far and how we can provide all round help for children living with the condition.
