Kigali Brain Week – 4th Africa‑MENA Brain Week (2026)
Overview:
Kigali Brain Week is a premier neuroloscience conference focused on advancing brain health across Africa and the MENA region through innovation, collaboration, and education.
It will be held in Kigali between February 5th. to February 8th. 2026 in Rwanda.
Who Attends:
Over 600+ neurologists, University Students, neuroscientists, researchers, clinicians, patient advocates, and public health professionals gather to share knowledge, earn CME credits, and engage with brain health challenges specific to the region.
Highlights:
- Cutting-edge scientific updates and continuing medical education tracks
- Sessions focused on both clinical management and public health innovations
- Networking and collaborative opportunities to foster partnerships and translational research
Themes and Activities:
The programme explores a wide range of topics—from neurological disorders such as MS, NMOSD, epilepsy, stroke, dementia, Parkinson’s, and neuropsychiatric conditions, to health system leadership, cross-border cooperation, and patient advocacy.
Sessions include plenaries, panels, workshops, and community outreach, tailored to regional needs.
Why Attend?
