Novel therapies @ Melbourne, #Neurodisorders Congress 2018!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Despite improvements in the prevention and treatment of some neurological disorders, for example, stroke, meningitis, and epilepsy, the absolute global burden has increased as a result of population expansion and increasing life expectancies. Currently, 84 percent of the world's population resides in low- and middle-income countries where most of the population growth is occurring. The fastest growing region is sub-Saharan Africa whose population will double in the next few decades. Stroke is clearly the biggest threat to neurological health globally, responsible for 47 percent of the global burden of neurological disorders.
