The incidence of stroke in Bahrain is rising in the Bahraini population and has nearly doubled over the last 16 years, while incidence in the non-Bahraini population has not changed.
I’m Carmen Lahiff-Jenkins Managing Editor of the International Journal of Stroke, and I spoke to Mona Al Banna from the Royal College of Surgeons in Ireland-Medical University of Bahrain, Postgraduate Studies & Research and more recently from the Department of Clinical Neurosciences, Salmaniya Medical Complex
Dr Al Banna is the first author of the article Stroke in Bahrain: rising incidence, multiple risk factors, and sub-optimal care, published in Volume 10 Issue 4, June 2015 International Journal of Stroke.
