Democratising stroke recovery: a global, multilingual digital public good
Abstract
Stroke remains a leading cause of disability worldwide, with more than 100 million people living with its consequences.1 Despite major advances in acute stroke care, access to sustained rehabilitation remains profoundly unequal across and within countries. In many settings, particularly in low- and middle-income countries, rehabilitation services are scarce, fragmented, or unaffordable; even in high-income settings, continuity of care beyond hospital discharge is often limited. As a result, a substantial proportion of stroke-related disability remains preventable through improved access to effective rehabilitation.
