DESCRIPTION: \nCaribbean Acute Stroke Summit \nWe are pleased to announce t
 he Caribbean Acute Stroke Summit\, held in beautiful Curacao on April 17th
  and 18th 2027. This two-day event brings together regional and internatio
 nal speakers\, highlighting current key developments in acute stroke care 
 and the unique challenges and opportunities in resource-limited regions su
 ch as the Caribbean.\nIschemic stroke is a severely debilitating condition
  for which acute treatment options have significantly advanced over the pa
 st decades. For years now\, intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular thro
 mbectomy have become standard of care. Treatment is possible up to 24 hour
 s after the onset of symptoms\, although earlier treatment still leads to 
 better (functional) outcomes.\nWhile these treatments and the necessary di
 agnostic tools are available in many countries\, access remains limited in
  many regions\, including most of the Caribbean. Implementing what is now 
 considered basic acute stroke care presents significant challenges on the 
 Caribbean islands\, due to financial\, geographical\, and socioeconomic fa
 ctors. This necessitates difficult trade-offs in acute stroke care in the 
 Caribbean region\, with the ultimate goal of providing high-quality\, acce
 ssible care for everyone.\nThe conference is aimed at both professionals w
 ithin stroke care in the Caribbean and those in other regions of the world
 .\nIn the coming months\, we will present the official conference location
  on Curacao\, the full conference program\, and our complete list of speak
 ers. Sign up for the mailing list to receive updates when the official reg
 istration page opens.\nMailing list Caribbean Acute Stroke Summit - Formul
 ier invullenThis mailing list will only be used to send sporadic updates r
