Remained inaccessible in Africa several years after its confirmation in developed countries, child neurology is still struggling to take its place in Sub-Saharan Africa and particularly in French-speaking countries. It must certainly be possible to correct this gap because some African centers like that of Cape Town or Sfax, have nothing to envy to those of the developed countries. Although the early history of child neurology has placed passionate individuals at the center of the development of the discipline, the establishment of certified curricula has complemented their efforts and ensured the sustainability of the subspecialty. For our countries, in addition to the insufficiency of financial resources to access diploma courses, we must also criticize the lack of an adequate technical platform whose development is closely linked to the development of child neurology. It is also necessary to point out the ignorance of the specialty by the caregivers while the patients exist. Finally, another significant obstacle is the language barrier. Looking at it closely, and with the help of the continental centres, a better organization of the different actors could provide some answers with a better orientation of the question. However, we will have to take the time to talk about it.
