Increasing Global Access to Stroke Intervention & Treatment: Mission Thrombectomy 2020 (MT2020+)

Stroke Thrombectomy, also known as Mechanical Thrombectomy, is a new highly effective time-sensitive medical intervention that has demonstrated the potential to reverse paralysis from a stroke in over 60% of patients. Dr. Dileep Yavagal, a world-leading interventional stroke neurologist and Chair of the Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology (SVIN), joins the Public Health Insight Podcast to discuss his initiative called Mission Thrombectomy (MT) 2020+. This initiative is guided by a systems-thinking approach targeted at all levels of prevention to expand access to stroke treatments and reduce the global morbidity and mortality associated with strokes. References for Our Discussion Society of Vascular and Interventional Neurology (SVIN) & Mission Thrombectomy (MT) 2020+: Mechanical Thrombectomy for Acute Stroke-Building Stroke Thrombectomy Systems of Care in Your Region: Why & How?Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) Grand Rounds: Public Health Strategies to Prevent and Treat StrokesNewswire: A Global Push to Increase Awareness, Action and Access to Thrombectomy Care for Stroke Patients is UnderwayPodcast Guests Dr. Dileep YavagalPodcast Co-HostsBen Umakanthan, HBSc, MPHLeshawn Benedict, HBSc, MPH, MSc, CAPM®Gordon Thane, BMSc, MPH, PMP® Share Your Thoughts With Us!Visit our website and follow us on Instagram, Twitter, LinkedIn, and Facebook.
