Major Field of Science: | Medical and Health Sciences | Field Category: | MEDICAL AND HEALTH SCIENCES | Issue Date: | 23-Apr-2025 | Source: | Cerebrovascular Diseases Extra, 2025 | Journal: | Cerebrovascular Diseases Extra | Abstract: | Stroke is a leading cause of morbidity and mortality globally, with Africa bearing a disproportionately high burden of poor outcomes. In sub-Saharan Africa, acute stroke care remains inconsistent, with organized stroke units being either absent or rarely available, contributing to the high stroke mortality rates in the region. To address this issue, the Tanzania Stroke Project (TSP) was launched, aimed at establishing acute stroke services at two of the largest tertiary care centers in collaboration with the Tanzanian Ministry of Health, the World Stroke Organization and Hospital Directorates. | URI: | https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.14279/34815 | ISSN: | 1664-5456 | DOI: | 10.1159/000545954 | Rights: | Attribution-NoDerivatives 4.0 International | Type: | Article | Affiliation : | Cyprus University of Technology Catholic University of Health and Allied Sciences-Weill Bugando School of Medicine University Hospital Heidelberg Ain Shams University University of Oxford University of New South Wales University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center University Teaching Hospital NIHR Leicester Biomedical Research Centre National University of Malaysia McMaster University & Population Health Research Institute Lund University Emergency Medicine - Stroke Unit Azienda Ospedaliera di Perugia Mohammed bin Rashid University of Health Sciences, Fleni.
