Women Initiative for Stroke in Europe: a WISE approach

Abstract

Women Initiative for Stroke in Europe (WISE) is a working group within the European Stroke Organization (ESO), aiming to identify and fix the gender inequalities in stroke care. This approach has a dual face: (1) a patient-oriented face; (2) a professional-oriented face. Inequalities exist in both approaches and the network created by WISE supports initiatives and actions for both targets.
