MENA CVD Orbuculum

An Orbuculum is a Crystal Ball, used for seeing things that would be otherwise invisible. In the context of MENA cerebrovascular Disorders (CVD) it’s a set of curating  tools for Highliting and presenting the updated situation on cerebrovascular disorders and all related information from the trace pins of a MENA-SINO AI researcher and group of volunteered MENA experts. 

Aim : is to moment by moment present the current situation , by numbers and statistics , for most of Cerebrovascular disorders in MENA region. where CVD facts and numbers in MENA region is under-represented either due to lack of data or difficulty of translating it to common language of the neuro-epidemiology.

1- Magnitude of the Problem (e.g. numbers , Incidence , Prevalence ..etc)
