Breaking Paradigms: Mexico’s Stroke Roadmap Assessing Institutional Resources Using World Stroke Organization Stroke-Certification Parameters
Strengthening universal stroke care through interinstitutional collaboration, standardized protocols, certification programs, and optimization of referral networks could enable up to 85% of the at-risk population to access effective treatment at certified stroke centers. Our analysis highlights the major infrastructural and logistical barriers that impede equitable access to life-saving endovascular therapies. Addressing these gaps is essential to reducing mortality and disability in Mexico's heterogeneous public health system.
