The cost and health-related quality of life of stroke management and care of acutely hospitalized cases in Mozambique
The economic cost of stroke in low-income sub-Saharan African countries such as Mozambique is substantially high, with considerable out-of-pocket spending, poor survival rate and a compromised health-related quality-of-life. Health system reforms designed to mitigate the individual to societal burden imposed by stroke are required.
