Abstract

Increasing incidence of stroke and lack of infrastructure in both urban and rural areas needs immediate attention in Pakistan. There is a high proportion of young stroke with poor stroke outcomes. Acute stroke care is scarce in Pakistan due to the small number of neurologists (1 neurologist per 1 million population), few stroke units, and limited availability of alteplase (recombinant tissue plasminogen activator) in the country.

Offering an international forum, it meets the growing need for sophisticated, up-to-date scientific information on clinical data, diagnostic testing, and therapeutic issues. The journal publishes original contributions, reviews of selected topics as well as clinical investigative studies. All aspects related to clinical advances are considered, while purely experimental work appears only if directly relevant to clinical issues.
