The African Academy of Neurology (AFAN) was created in August 2015 under the aegis of the WFN to be the African regional representative body for all that relates to neurology and allied fields. AFAN collaborates actively with other international organisations; the WFN, EAN, AAN, and MDS amongst others, to achieve the goals of AFAN and its member states.
