Egyptian Neurointerventionalists and stroke specialists  are honored to be affiliated to this respected society which had been founded in 2013, and Since that time, the MENA-SINO is playing an active role in the progress of Stroke and neurointerventional practice on local, regional, continental and international levels. 

We are truly fortune to have this meeting done in collaboration with the Egyptian society of stroke (ESS) and the African Academy of neurology (AAN).
