Caribbean Acute Stroke Summit - SAVE THE DATE

Caribbean Acute Stroke Summit 

We are pleased to announce the Caribbean Acute Stroke Summit, held in beautiful Curacao on April 17th and 18th 2027. This two-day event brings together regional and international speakers, highlighting current key developments in acute stroke care and the unique challenges and opportunities in resource-limited regions such as the Caribbean.

Ischemic stroke is a severely debilitating condition for which acute treatment options have significantly advanced over the past decades. For years now, intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular thrombectomy have become standard of care. Treatment is possible up to 24 hours after the onset of symptoms, although earlier treatment still leads to better (functional) outcomes.

While these treatments and the necessary diagnostic 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 factors. This necessitates difficult trade-offs in acute stroke care in the Caribbean region, with the ultimate goal of providing high-quality, accessible care for everyone.

The conference is aimed at both professionals within stroke care in the Caribbean and those in other regions of the world.

In the coming months, we will present the official conference location on Curacao, the full conference program, and our complete list of speakers. Sign up for the mailing list to receive updates when the official registration page opens.
