First Use of Tenecteplase (#TNK) for Stroke in Eth

We are thrilled to announce a major milestone in stroke care in Ethiopia. Axon Neurology Specialty Center has successfully administered #Tenecteplase (#TNK) for the first time to a stroke patient in the country, marking a new era in rapid and effective stroke treatment.

Thanks to the dedication and coordination of our expert team, the Door-to-Needle (DTN) time was just 13 minutes—well below international standards—highlighting our commitment to swift, life-saving care.

This achievement reflects the continuous progress (#Progress, ተቋም ግንባታ) we are making in advancing neurological care in Ethiopia.

We also take this moment to extend our heartfelt greetings on Meskel 2017 (መስቀል በዓል) ✝️, celebrating life, hope, and the relentless pursuit of health innovation.

At Axon, we remain committed to bringing world-class stroke care to Ethiopia, ensuring that patients receive timely, expert, and compassionate treatment.
