Jeyaraj Pandian: World Stroke Organization Advances Stroke Education and Care in Central Asia
Jeyaraj Pandian, President of World Stroke Organization, shared on LinkedIn:
”World Stroke Organization Leads Landmark Stroke Symposium in Central Asia
I was honored to participate in the International Congress on Current Issues in Neurology – Focus on Education and Clinical Practice, held in Almaty on 29–30 May.
A key highlight of the congress was the Stroke Symposium organized by the World Stroke Organization (WSO).
It was a privilege to be part of an outstanding faculty alongside Prof. Craig Anderson (President-Elect), Prof. Valeria Caso (Treasurer), Prof. Gustavo Saposnik (Vice President), and Dr. Raj Sreenivas Parthasarathy.
The congress was excellently organized by Prof. Erkyn Nurguzhaev, President of the Association of Neurologists of Kazakhstan, and Prof. Saule Turuspekova, Chief Neurologist of the Health Ministry, with valuable support from Mr Axel, Mr Nikita Ivanov, Ms Dina, Ever Pharma and Dr Lev Pristupluk, Angels Initiative for Eastern Europe and Central Asia.
With around 300 delegates representing Central Asian countries—including Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, Azerbaijan, and Russia—the meeting provided a vibrant platform for knowledge exchange.
The Stroke Symposium covered critical and contemporary topics such as:
- Advances in reperfusion therapies
- Stroke unit management
- Intracerebral hemorrhage
- Cerebral venous thrombosis
- Stroke prevention and rehabilitation
I had the opportunity to deliver a plenary lecture on WSO strategies to reduce the global burden of stroke.
We look forward to strengthening collaboration with Central Asian stroke centers to standardize and elevate stroke care through the rollout of the WSO Stroke Center Certification Program.
Grateful for the enriching discussions, collaborations, and the shared commitment to improving stroke care globally.”
