Title: Bridging the Gap: The NITA-MENA Study & The Future of Stroke Care

Description: Mechanical thrombectomy is the gold standard for treating acute ischemic stroke, yet access to this procedure varies wildly across the MENA region. The bottleneck? A lack of standardized training pathways.

Host Salma is joined by Prof. Ossama Yassin Mansour, a leading figure in Interventional Neurology, to dissect the NITA-MENA (Neuro-Interventional Training Academy) study.

In this episode, we cover:

• The current landscape of neuro-interventional capacity in the Middle East.
• The objectives of the NITA-MENA study in standardizing fellowship training.
• How creating a structured educational pipeline can directly improve patient outcomes.
• The role of international collaboration in local capacity building.

Join us for a deep dive into the data and the drive behind building a stronger medical workforce.
