Neurophobia in low- and middle- income countries (LMICs): burden and implications for neurology care and research – a systematic review

The prevalence of neurophobia in LMICs varies widely. To tackle neurophobia, extant health policy, educational, and clinical training initiatives should be geared towards implementing and sustaining evidence-based strategies to improve clinical exposure and case-based learning. This will be critical to ensuring a steady stream of neurology workforce and may help bridge the neurology clinical care and research gap in LMICs.
