People living in regional Australia are 17 percent more likely to suffer a stroke than those living in metropolitan areas. However, unfortunately, regional Australians are less likely than those in metropolitan areas to receive the best possible stroke care. up to one-third of stroke survivors experience ongoing comorbidities such as psychological distress and fatigue. These comorbidities are among the greatest barriers to stroke recovery. Nevertheless, they are often missed often missed and neglected in stroke care continuum because unlike physical disabilities, they are “invisible’. Prajwal's presentation will focus on this health care gap and what we are doing to overcome this.
