Abstract

Stroke is one of the world's largest contributors to mortality, and a leading cause of longterm disability. Yet, this remains an area of healthcare that continues to receive little attention through the media. There is urgent need for vital stroke funding to improve gaps in evidence-based stroke care. We are faced with a public health crisis.
