Improving access to quality acute stroke treatment in India

It has been difficult to treat acute stroke patients with re-canalization (clot removal) in India and other poor nations. In underdeveloped nations where stroke services are frequently not well established, intravenous thrombolytic treatment, which is recognised as an essential drug by WHO, is administered at a rate of less than 1-3 percent.

 In order to provide recanalization therapy for acute stroke, IHBAS started its stroke programme in 2011. The sole government facility in the area that offers thrombolytic therapy for acute strokes is the tertiary level neurology centre, yet there were very few patients that arrived at the hospital during the treatment window. The 'Saving the Brain' campaign, financed by the World Federation of Neurology (WFN), was chosen to raise awareness of acute stroke management among general practitioners, healthcare professionals, and the general public.

The hospitals has found success in raising awareness of and educating both the medical and paramedical personnel as well as the general public about the symptoms and treatment of stroke. The rate of thrombolysis has more than doubled as a result of outreach to the community, exceeding expectations.We found effective pre-notification and ambulance transport strategies. Stroke Units (SU) are present in a few nations, but they are few and primarily offered by the private sector. Only a small percentage of patients had their arteries with telemedicine and government aid, this number may rise. Limited accessibility and affordability have an impact on secondary preventive drug adherence, highlighting the need of primary prevention. It is possible to train paramedics, caregivers, and nurses in post-stroke care. In this systematic review, we discovered numerous studies on implementable, evidence-based stroke services. Though untested, some solutions are affordable, practicable, and replicable. There are few data on their results and sustainability.
