The third edition of Asian Stroke Summer School 2026, dedicated to advancing comprehensive stroke care across Asia through structured, team-based education and focused hands-on skill development, is being held in Thiruvananthapuram from November 12 to 15.
The programme is organised jointly by Sree Chitra Tirunal Institute for Medical Sciences and Technology (SCTIMST), Thiruvananthapuram and University of Bern, Switzerland.
Modelled on the successful European Stroke Winter School, the Asian Stroke Summer School provides an integrated training platform where neurologists and interventionalists train together as cohesive stroke teams. The teaching course aims to equip neurologists with updated scientific knowledge so that stroke management can be improved within institutions. All aspects of stroke management, including clinical decision-making, procedural strategies, complication management and quality of care will be taken up in sessions.
The course is led by P.N. Sylaja, Professor and Head of Comprehensive Stroke Care Programme and E.R. Jayadevan, Professor and Head of Imaging Sciences & Interventional Radiology at SCTIMST; Urs Fischer, Director and Chairman, Department of Neurology and Jan Gralla, Head of Neuroradiology, Inselspital University Hospital, Bern, Switzerland.
Neurologists, interventional neuroradiologists, and multidisciplinary stroke teams from across Asia are attending the three-day programme.
