在发展中国家，中风的负担是巨大的，而且还在增长。在位于西非的加纳，中风是前五名死亡原因之一。中风导致的残疾给医护人员、患者、他们的家人和更广泛的社会带来了许多挑战。来自英格兰西南部、里奇医院阿克拉和Korle Bu教学医院阿克拉的卫生专业人员组成了一个国际卫生伙伴关系，分享中风管理和服务发展的知识，以支持改善加纳的中风护理。
The burden of stroke in the developing world is huge and growing. In Ghana, located in West Africa, stroke is in the top five causes of death.
