Stroke causes around 730,000 deaths in South Asia, nearly half of stroke-related

responses, considering poverty, service quality, and availability. The article identifies four key challenges in stroke management and rehabilitation in South Asia, emphasizing long-term monitoring, risk factor control, and community surveillance, drawing on experiences from Nepal.
