Based on a multi-sectoral roundtable held in September 2025, it highlights stroke as a leading cause of death and disability and points to persistent gaps in access, financing, workforce capacity, and emergency response, particularly in underserved areas.
The paper outlines priority reforms, including expanding Acute Stroke Ready Hospitals (ASRHs), strengthening referral and emergency systems, improving PhilHealth benefit packages, and enhancing data-driven policymaking. Drawing on international best practices, it emphasizes the role of effective policy implementation and public–private collaboration in building a more equitable and resilient stroke care system.
