Overview
- Hospitals from Mar del Plata to Tucumán ran staff trainings to speed Code Stroke activation, imaging, and reperfusion decisions.
- City campaigns in Córdoba, Mendoza and Buenos Aires installed a countdown clock and an interactive booth to stress that every minute costs brain cells.
- Experts reiterated that IV thrombolysis is effective within 4.5 hours and that selected patients can undergo mechanical thrombectomy within 6–24 hours at equipped centers.
- A September Voices survey found only 38% feel ready to act, 4 in 10 ignore the 4.5-hour window, and most would choose the closest hospital rather than a stroke-ready facility.
- Stroke networks and 24/7 units reported expanded readiness, including Córdoba’s 24-hospital network, Mendoza’s provincial system, and dedicated services at Sanatorio Allende and Hospital Padilla.
