What is the stroke burden?

Stroke
Technology

Practical, human-centered tools that support recovery, independence, and better days—at home and in life.

104 deaths and 208 new cases per 100k.

Where can I get care now?Review the acute pathway and emergency response.

Emergency & insurance options?Call 100. See insurance details.

Where are the biggest gaps?Thrombolysis (alteplase) is not generally available in the public health system (WHO).

How does it compare to peers?Readiness 36/100 vs 65 regional average.

Acute care pathway

Recognize stroke symptoms early (FAST), call your local emergency number immediately, and seek the nearest hospital with imaging and acute stroke capability. Acute capability varies by facility and region.

Shortcomings & opportunities

Care gaps & shortcomings

Thrombolysis (alteplase) is not generally available in the public health system (WHO).
Acute stroke care and rehabilitation are available in fewer than half of public facilities (WHO).

Improvement opportunities

Establish thrombolysis-capable stroke-ready hospitals in major referral centers.
Reduce high stroke mortality through prevention, faster EMS, and acute pathway investment.
