Disclosure • Received Research Grants from Indian Council of Medical Research; Department of Biotechnology; National Health and Medical Research Council, Australia; National Institute of Health Research, United Kingdom
Stroke • Stroke is the major cause of death and disability globally • Stroke care services are not well developed in Low- and middle-income countries (LMICs) • World Stroke Organization (WSO) had published a road map and action plan for stroke care services across all levels of health care (minimal, essential and advanced) • The objectives were to merge the WSO action plan with World Health Organization (WHO) stroke intervention list
Search Strategy • All published latest Stroke Guidelines • High Income and Low and Middle Income countries • Evidence based medical technologies • Minimal (Primary care), Essential (Secondary care), Advanced (Tertiary)
WSO Roadmap and Action Plan Lindsay et al. Int J Stroke. 2014 Oct;9 Suppl A100:4-13.
Minimal/Primary Health Care Level • Public awareness: Charts, educational materials, Videos etc • Emergency alert system: Facilities to call ambulance services • Acute care: FAST training
Minimal/Primary Health Care Level • BP apparatus, Glucometer, 12 lead ECG machine • Referral to Secondary/Essential care services • Prevention: Screening for risk factors: Mobile app: Stroke Riskometer • Monitoring of BP, Sugar etc by mHealth algorithms
Minimal/Primary Health Care Level Essential medicines • Antiplatelets (Aspirin), Antihypertensives (Ramipril, Amlodipine), Antidiabetics (Metformin), Lipid lowering drug (Atorvastatin)
Essential/Secondary Health Care Level • Public awareness: Charts, educational materials, videos • Emergency alert: Availability of ambulance • Emergency department protocols • Imaging: CT Scan machine
