Understanding Delays in Presentation for Stroke at a Tertiary Care Hospital in Zambia: Identifying Opportunities to Improve Care and Outcomes (P6-11.013)

Abstract

Acute stroke interventions, which are time-dependent and reduce stroke disability and mortality in high-income countries, are currently unavailable in Zambia. We aimed to identify pre-hospital barriers that contribute to delays in care for patients with acute stroke in Zambia to facilitate the eventual provision of acute stroke interventions and improve stroke outcomes.
