In Turkey, the incidence of acute stroke is increasing, obviously with the contribution of the aging population. With the publication of "Directive on Health Services to be Provided to Patients with Acute Stroke" on July 18, 2019 and its entry into force in March 2021, an important period of catching up and updating has begun in the management of acute stroke patients in our country. During this period, 57 comprehensive stroke centers and 51 primary stroke centers were certified. These units have covered approximately 85% of the country's population. In addition, around 50 interventional neurologists were trained and became the directors of many of these centers. In the following 2 years, the "inme.org.tr campaign" was launched. This campaign, aimed at increasing the public's knowledge and awareness about stroke, continued unabated during the pandemic period. Now is the time to continue the efforts to ensure homogeneous quality metrics and to develop and continuously improve the established system.
在土耳其,急性中风的发病率正在上升,这显然与人口老龄化有关。随着 2019 年 7 月 18 日“向急性中风患者提供医疗服务的指导方针”的发布以及其于 2021 年 3 月生效,我国急性中风患者的管理迎来了一个重要的追赶和更新阶段。在此期间,有 57 个综合中风中心和 51 个初级中风中心获得认证。这些单位覆盖了全国约 85%的人口。此外,大约有 50 名介入神经科医生接受了培训,并成为许多中心的主任。在接下来的 2 年里,发起了“inme.org.tr 运动”。该运动旨在提高公众对中风的认识和意识,即使在大流行期间也一直在持续进行。现在是继续努力确保同质的质量指标并发展和不断改进已建立的系统的时候了。
