Mission thrombectomy 2020 (MT2020+) surveys of Caribbean stroke services: A call for action in our region

Stroke is the leading cause of death and adult-onset disability in the Caribbean region. Despite the tremendous advances in acute stroke care in the past 25  years, treatment in the Caribbean lags stroke standards of care. Mission Thrombectomy 2020+ (MT2020+) is a metrics based global campaign focused on increasing access to organized stroke care and mechanical thrombectomy.We conducted two consecutive online surveys across the MT2020+ Caribbean Regio n assessing access to thrombolytics, mechanical thrombectomy and stroke centers.
