Stroke patients pay penalty for high costs, lack of facilities - India

This wouldn't be quite such a problem if the neuronal cascade of death is prevented. There would be much less dead and damaged neurons and existing stroke rehab would be more successful.

A shocking 90 per cent of Indians who suffer strokes go home directly instead of a therapeutic rehabilitation centre. This is due to high costs of rehabilitation, lack of professional rehabilitation centres in the country and - the most striking of them all - doctors failing to stress on stroke patients going to rehabilitation centres. And this is found to be more damaging than otherwise.

These are findings of a nationwide analytical project carried out by Bengaluru-based St John's Research Institute (SJRI) on 11,001 stroke patients from 61 hospitals across 22 states in India. The project is Indian Stroke Perspective Registry (Inspire), which was started in 2009 and funded by National Heart Lung and Blood Institute/United Health.
