Experts Highlight Tobacco Cessation and Data Gaps in India's Stroke Burden
Experts emphasize the need for sustained tobacco cessation support and blood pressure control to reduce India's stroke burden, noting tobacco contributes to 12% of stroke deaths and high blood pressure to 56%. On World Stroke Day, concerns are raised about India's incomplete stroke death data, with only a fraction of deaths medically certified, hindering accurate assessment and response. Improved cessation services and better death certification are urged to address stroke prevention and monitoring effectively.
