Stroke in Bahrain: rising incidence, multiple risk factors, and sub-optimal care, published in Volume 10 Issue 4, June 2015 International Journal of Stroke

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.
