Even in the face of war, stroke systems of care continue to advance in Ukraine 🇺🇦🧠
An inspiring and sobering overview of the challenges and resilience behind maintaining mechanical thrombectomy services during wartime; from workforce shortages and device limitations to ongoing efforts in education, infrastructure, and national stroke strategy.
Despite extraordinary circumstances, Ukraine has seen major growth in IV thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy, CT/MRI access, and stroke systems organization over recent years.
A powerful reminder that commitment to stroke care persists even under the most difficult conditions. #Stroke #Ukraine #MissionThrombectomy #Neurointervention #StrokeCare #GlobalHealth #MechanicalThrombectomy #WorldThrombectomyDay #LVO #Endovascular
Proud to represent Ukraine at @svinsociety Mission Thrombectomy – World Thrombectomy Day 2026, sharing our experience of delivering acute stroke care when the system itself is under attack.
The III USMS Spring Stroke School brought together 32 participants from various cities across Ukraine, united by their shared interest. Since the project's inception, this is the first school to receive ESO endorsement. Thank our colleagues @ESOstroke for the support!
🏥 В 2024 році МОЗ і НСЗУ почали аудити медзакладів, що мають право лікувати інсульти. Як саме відбувалися перевірки і які знайшли порушення? І що буде з медзакладами, у яких порушення критичні?
