This is the whole problem in stroke enumerated in one word; 'care'; NOT RECOVERY!
Our non-existent stroke leadership should be demanding RECOVERY NOT 'CARE'!
My god, anyone in the business world would be fired immediately for managing or caring about something rather than delivering RESULTS. And this is why this is a complete fucking failure! This does nothing to guarantee recovery for survivors!
If your hospital is touting 'care' it means they are a failure because they are delivering 'care'; NOT RECOVERY! I would never go to a failed hospital! Anytime I see the word 'care' associated with a stroke hospital; I immediately think fucking failure!
YOU have to get involved and change this failure mindset of 'care' to 100% RECOVERY! Survivors want RECOVERY, NOT 'CARE'!
I see nothing here that states going for 100% recovery! You need to create EXACT PROTOCOLS FOR THAT!
ASK SURVIVORS WHAT THEY WANT, THEY'LL NEVER RESPOND 'CARE'! This tyranny of low expectations has to be completely rooted out of any stroke conversation! I wouldn't go there because of such incompetency as not having 100% recovery protocols!
RECOVERY IS THE ONLY GOAL IN STROKE!
GET THERE!
Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre Earns Global Certification for Stroke Care
The Sir Lester Bird Medical Centre (SLBMC) has been officially certified as an Essential Stroke Centre by the World Stroke Organization (WSO), marking a historic milestone for Antigua and Barbuda’s healthcare system. The certification — the first of its kind for the country — confirms that SLBMC meets rigorous international standards for the rapid diagnosis and treatment of stroke, one of the world’s leading causes of death and long-term disability.“This is a defining moment not just for our hospital, but for our nation,” said Dr. Gaden Osborne, Neurologist and Chair of Subspecialty Services at SLBMC, who spearheaded the certification process. “We’ve spent years building a system that allows patients to receive timely, evidence-based stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) right here at home. This recognition validates that effort.”The hospital’s stroke team underwent a detailed review of its clinical protocols, emergency response, and multidisciplinary coordination. During the assessment, evaluators witnessed a real-life emergency when a patient arrived with stroke symptoms.The team’s swift and coordinated response impressed the WSO representatives and demonstrated the hospital’s ability to deliver high-quality care(NOT RECOVERY!) under pressure.Dr. Shivon Belle-Jarvis, SLBMC’s Medical Director, described the certification as “a proud and powerful achievement that shows what’s possible when commitment and collaboration meet compassion.” “Stroke care(NOT RECOVERY!) is one of the most time-sensitive areas in medicine,” she said. “This certification shows that our team is capable, prepared, and ready to save lives using international best practices.” Salma Crump, Head of Marketing and Communications at SLBMC, called the accomplishment “a win for the entire community.” “Every family touched by stroke can now have greater confidence that their hospital has the systems, people, and passion to deliver the best care(NOT RECOVERY!) possible,” she said. “It’s about trust, progress, and pride for our nation.” The WSO’s recognition underscores SLBMC’s growing reputation for clinical excellence and its ongoing mission to expand specialized medical services across Antigua and Barbuda. Hospital officials say the achievement represents just one step in a broader effort to build a resilient, patient-centered healthcare system capable of meeting international standards.
