DESCRIPTION:  Caribbean Acute Stroke Summit We are pleased to announce the 
 Caribbean Acute Stroke Summit\, held in beautiful Curacao on April 17th an
 d 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 de
 cades. For years now\, intravenous thrombolysis and endovascular thrombect
 omy have become standard of care. Treatment is possible up to 24 hours aft
 er the onset of symptoms\, although earlier treatment still leads to bette
 r (functional) outcomes.While these treatments and the necessary diagnosti
 c tools are available in many countries\, access remains limited in many r
 egions\, including most of the Caribbean. Implementing what is now conside
 red basic acute stroke care presents significant challenges on the Caribbe
 an islands\, due to financial\, geographical\, and socioeconomic factors. 
 This necessitates difficult trade-offs in acute stroke care in the Caribbe
 an region\, with the ultimate goal of providing high-quality\, accessible 
 care for everyone.The conference is aimed at both professionals within str
 oke care in the Caribbean and those in other regions of the world.In the c
 oming months\, we will present the official conference location on Curacao
 \, the full conference program\, and our complete list of speakers. Sign u
