The increasing prevalence of stroke suggests that more needs to be done to close the gap between health policies and practices known to mitigate risk factors.

Preventing stroke: uneven progress is a report by The Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU), sponsored by The Bristol-Myers Squibb–Pfizer Alliance. It assesses policy efforts to reduce risks of stroke in 20 countries globally based on a scorecard rating each country’s performance across different aspects, including awareness, screening practices and policies among others.
