The management of stroke is rapidly changing and being implemented in current practice. The Asian Stroke Summer School 2022 mainly focuses on this and facilitates Interventionists and Neurologists in practising evidence-based effective stroke management.

It’s now 3 years since the last Asian Stroke Summer School in 2019 June was conducted in Vietnam. Building on the success of previous meetings, in Asian Stroke Summer School 2022 we look forward to learning the latest acute ischemic stroke management practices through the well-planned scientific sessions.

It is a great pleasure to welcome all of you for the Asian Stroke Summer School 2022 organised by Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST) and Stroke Research Centre, Bern (SRCB). This vibrant conference will deepen knowledge and help exchange ideas freely through lectures by experts, simulator training sessions, group discussions and real-world case scenario discussions. We are sure the scenic backdrop of beautiful Kerala - ‘The God’s own country’ - will add to the pleasure of the conference and provide perdurable memories beyond the academic feast.
