Participating Institutions

A Collaborative Research Network across West and Central Africa.

The WeCASOR Network is built on collaboration between hospitals, universities, and clinical research institutions committed to improving stroke outcomes research through harmonized infrastructure.

This decentralized model ensures that institutions maintain regulatory autonomy while benefiting from regional scientific collaboration and data integration.

Network Structure

Institutional Sites

Participating hospitals and medical centers serve as data collection sites and clinical research partners.

Site Principal Investigators

Each institution designates a Site PI responsible for local ethics compliance and study implementation.

Country Coordinators

Facilitate coordination between sites and support network activities within participating countries.

Central Coordination

Program coordination oversees research integrity, data governance, and scientific direction.
