Description
Cliff Oguk, Benjamin Okanga, and Annie Kariuki set out in 2026 to map stroke imaging in Kenyan referral hospitals. Stroke is a top cause of death in the nation. Most sites can run a plain CT scan, but the sharper vessel and flow scans that pick out patients for clot pulls are rare. Their survey asks stroke care staff in all forty-seven counties what gear and rules they have and what blocks the sharper scans.
At the time of the report, replies were still coming in. The form had been checked by clinicians and sent out through pro networks. A national ethics pass was in its last steps. The team plans to close the poll and chart the gap, to give the nation its first base line for stroke imaging policy.
