Geneva: A new study has found that by 2050, the number of deaths due to stroke could reach 10 million, with low- and middle-income countries most affected.
A report published in the Lancet Neurology Journal has highlighted that the number of deaths due to stroke, which was 66 lakh in 2020, is expected to increase to 9.7 lakh in 2050.
The report by the researchers emphasized the importance of the role of evidence-based effective solutions in tackling this anticipated problem.
These data on stroke deaths come from a joint effort between the World Stroke Organization and the Lancet Neurology Commission (which published four studies).
These four papers published under this commission made practical recommendations to reduce the global stroke crisis.
The report emphasized on strict monitoring and implementation of the recommendations of the commission.
The commission based its research findings into 12 evidence-based recommendations on stroke surveillance, prevention, intensive care and recovery.
