# NSTG 2022 Structured Clinical Dataset
A machine-readable JSON dataset of 270 clinical conditions extracted and structured from the **Nigeria Standard Treatment Guidelines (NSTG) 2022**, a public clinical reference document published by the Federal Ministry of Health, Nigeria.
---
## Overview
This dataset converts the NSTG 2022 into a consistent, schema-driven JSON format designed for use in clinical applications, AI/ML pipelines, and medical education tools.
Each condition is represented as a single JSON file with a unified schema covering clinical features, investigations, treatment protocols, differential diagnoses, complications, and prevention.

## Dataset at a Glance
The dataset is derived from the Nigeria Standard Treatment Guidelines (NSTG) 2022 and contains 270 clinical conditions. It is structured in JSON format, with each condition represented as a separate file, and follows schema version 1.0.
The data was created using a clinician-supervised pipeline that involved optical character recognition (OCR), followed by manual curation, and subsequent structuring using a large language model.
