Abstract

The burden of stroke in the developing world is huge and growing. In Ghana, located in West Africa, stroke is in the top five causes of death. Disability resulting from stroke creates many challenges to healthcare staff, patients, their families and the wider society. Health professionals from the South West of England, ridge Hospital Accra and Korle Bu Teaching Hospital Accra formed an international health partnership to share knowledge of stroke management and service development to support the improvement of stroke care in Ghana.
