Developing nations face the double burden of communicable and noncommunicable diseases. Bhutan is a developing country and has achieved significant milestones in its health indicators. Increasing burden of stroke and the lack of evidence-based stroke care system in the country’s hospitals are proving to be a challenge to provide quality stroke care. Despite the logistical challenge of referring stroke patients on time, lack of trained health care professionals and resources, Bhutan has recently started various initiatives to improve stroke care with the help of WHO-SEARO, WHO-Geneva, and Christian Medical College, Ludhiana, India.
