ANA-SEQUINS Global Neurology – Expanding Access to Neurological Care: Global Perspectives from Critical Care to Outpatient Services*
Date: September 16, 2025
Time: 11:00 am to 12:30 pm
Track: Traditional Special Interest Group (SIG)
Session Description
Neurological disorders represent a significant and growing burden in global health, with disparities in access to care, specialized training, and healthcare infrastructure disproportionately affecting low-and middle-income countries (LMICs). Despite these challenges, leaders in global neurology have successfully developed and expanded models of care that integrate neurology into inpatient wards, intensive care units (ICUs), and outpatient settings, improving patient outcomes and advancing equity in neurological health.
This session will bring together experts who have implemented and scaled global neurology initiatives, providing insights into their successes, challenges, and lessons learned. Discussions will focus on sustainable models for delivering acute and critical neurological care, strategies for capacity building, and the role of international collaboration in strengthening neurology services worldwide. By highlighting real-world implementations, this session aims to inspire innovation, foster partnerships, and drive forward solutions that improve access to high-quality neurological care globally. Attendees will gain a deeper understanding of effective approaches in global neurology and leave with actionable strategies to enhance care delivery in diverse healthcare settings.
Topics being discussed:
- Implementation of Neurocritical Care Protocols in Resource-limited Settings
- Innovations for Continuity of Care in Challenging Circumstances
- Global Health: Challenges and the role of neurologists
Learning Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, attendees should be able to:
- Identify gaps in global neurology practice and establish collaborations.
- Develop advocacy and leadership skills to engage policymakers, healthcare institutions, and international organizations in strengthening neurology care systems globally.
- Develop skills in implementing programs aimed at narrowing the gap in neurological clinical practice.
