The WHO Resolution on 'Reducing the burden of stroke: strengthening prevention, acute care, rehabilitation and health-system readiness' creates an opportunity for governments and stroke stakeholders to work together to identify priorities and accelerate troke action plans, strengthen health systems and improve access to evidence-based care across the full stroke pathway.
