Greetings from ISA !

First I would like to thank you all for your confidence in my leadership and electing me unanimously. I will do my best to continue the legacy of ISA and emulate the good work done by previous presidents. I would like to share my vision with all of you and solicit your support and active participation so that we can together tackle the huge burden of stroke in India.

The theme I selected for this year is “Brain Stroke – Time to take Action” emphasizing the need of action at every level by everyone using every strategy !

Key priorities include: Developing a National Stroke Action Plan to strengthen stroke care infrastructure across India and Advocate for standardize stroke care and accreditation process. Knowledge and Capacity building - To train young neurologists, Stroke nurses, ER and ambulance staff to prioritize and managing acute stroke patients and deliver evidence based treatments in time. Empowering Public Awareness- Spreading the message that 80% of strokes are preventable and Time is Brain.
