European Stroke Action Plan 2018-2030 Summary

The European Stroke Action Plan 2018-2030 outlines seven domains focusing on stroke prevention, organization of services, acute stroke management, secondary prevention, rehabilitation, outcome evaluation, and life after stroke. The plan aims to reduce the absolute number of strokes in Europe by 10%, treat 90% of stroke patients in dedicated stroke units, and implement national strategies for holistic stroke care. Key targets include universal access to preventive treatments, establishment of stroke societies in each country, and guaranteeing access to recanalization therapies. The plan emphasizes evidence-based care pathways, training for stroke care personnel, and regular quality audits for stroke services. It also highlights the importance of secondary prevention, rehabilitation, and ongoing support for stroke survivors. Industry involvement is excluded from the plan, emphasizing a patient-centered approach.
