Extension of "Golden 4.5 Hours" treatment capabilities: China launches telemedicine project for primary stroke care.

As one of the core key tasks of the National Health Commission's "Million Rehabilitation Project", the grassroots telemedicine project for stroke was launched today. Stroke, commonly known as "stroke", is one of the major threats to the health of residents in China. The grassroots telemedicine project for stroke aims to extend the ability to treat acute ischemic stroke within the "golden 4.5 hours" precisely to the grassroots level by utilizing innovative telemedicine and systematic training models. The project focuses on tackling the shortcomings in the treatment of stroke in remote and underdeveloped areas, helping grassroots medical institutions achieve standardized and homogeneous thrombolytic therapy to effectively reduce the disability and mortality rates of stroke from the root cause.
