Purpose of This Disclaimer

The information provided on the ANNI Africa NeuroCare & NeuroResearch Initiative ("ANNI") website is intended for general educational and awareness purposes only. This Medical Disclaimer outlines important limitations and expectations about the health-related content we share.

By accessing or using any health-related content on our website — including but not limited to articles, videos, infographics, research summaries, and patient education resources — you acknowledge and agree to the terms outlined below.

Not Medical Advice

The content shared on this website — including but not limited to information about stroke, brain aneurysm, Moyamoya disease, epilepsy, and other neurological conditions — is offered as general health information for the purpose of:

• Raising public awareness of neurological health conditions
• Encouraging earlier recognition of warning signs
• Supporting informed conversations with healthcare providers
• Sharing research and evidence-based educational resources

Always consult a licensed physician, neurologist, or qualified healthcare provider for specific medical questions, before making any healthcare decision, or before starting, stopping, or changing any treatment.

No Doctor-Patient Relationship

Use of the ANNI website does not create a doctor-patient relationship, therapist-patient relationship, or any other professional healthcare provider relationship between you and ANNI, its staff, board members, contributors, or affiliated researchers.

ANNI is a nonprofit research and education organization. We do not provide individualized clinical care. Communications submitted through our website (including contact forms, prayer requests, and partnership inquiries) are not confidential medical consultations.

Third-Party Content

Our website features content from third-party medical institutions, including educational videos from organizations such as:

• American Heart Association & American Stroke Association
• Mayo Clinic
• Cleveland Clinic
• Epilepsy Foundation
• National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke (NINDS)
• American Academy of Neurology
• Stanford Health Care
• Other accredited medical and research organizations

While ANNI selects content from reputable sources, we do not independently verify, endorse, or take responsibility for the accuracy, completeness, or currency of third-party medical content. The opinions and recommendations expressed in embedded videos and linked content are those of the respective creators and not necessarily ANNI's official positions.

You should always cross-reference health information with your healthcare provider.

Information May Become Outdated

Medical knowledge evolves continuously. While we make reasonable efforts to keep information current, ANNI does not guarantee that any specific piece of content reflects the most recent clinical evidence, treatment guidelines, or research findings at the time you view it.

Please consult primary medical sources and your healthcare provider for the most up-to-date information.

Geographic & Healthcare System Variations

ANNI's audience spans the United States, Africa, and other regions. Healthcare practices, available treatments, prescription protocols, and emergency response systems vary by country and even by region within a country.

Information that is general in nature may not reflect the specific healthcare resources, options, or practices available where you live. Always work with healthcare providers in your local jurisdiction for context-appropriate care.

Individual Variation

Neurological conditions affect individuals differently. Symptoms, risk factors, treatment responses, and outcomes can vary significantly based on age, medical history, genetics, lifestyle, and many other factors. General educational content cannot account for individual circumstances.

The fact that information appears on the ANNI website does not mean it applies to your specific situation.

Research Content

ANNI publishes and shares research summaries, policy briefs, and educational content related to neurological health equity. This research content is intended for academic, educational, and public-awareness purposes and reflects findings as of the date of publication.

Research findings should not be interpreted as clinical recommendations. They are part of an ongoing body of scientific inquiry and may be revised, refined, or contradicted by subsequent research.

Patient Stories & Lived Experience

Our website may feature personal stories, testimonials, or lived experiences shared by individuals affected by neurological conditions — including the lived experience of ANNI's founder.

Prayer & Spiritual Support

ANNI's mission includes offering prayer and spiritual support as part of holistic care. Prayer support is a faith-based community offering and is not a substitute for medical care. We encourage all individuals to seek both spiritual support and medical care from qualified providers as appropriate to their needs and beliefs.

No Liability

To the fullest extent permitted by law, ANNI Africa NeuroCare, its board members, staff, volunteers, contributors, and affiliates disclaim any liability for:

• Decisions made based on content found on our website
• Outcomes related to following or not following any information shared
• Reliance on third-party content embedded or linked from our website
• Delays in seeking medical care due to time spent on our website
• Any direct, indirect, incidental, or consequential damages arising from use of our content
