South African – Swedish eﬀort on pre-hospital diagnostics of stroke and traumatic injuries

Feedback Survey

The project and workshop are concerned with the challenges of evaluating and introducing medical technology in the developing country context. Speciﬁcally, we will focus on the evaluation diagnostic devices for acute stroke and traumatic brain injuries in the Western Cape health care system in South Africa. This will be done in terms of a health technology assessment involving clinical, economical, ethical, legal, and socio-cultural issues.

Worldwide, stroke is recognized not only as a clinical and public health issue but as an important challenge for global economic development. About 15 million people suﬀer a stroke each year. Out of the suﬀerers around 5 million die and another 5 million are permanently disabled. As much as 70% of all the stroke deaths and 87% of all disabilities occurs in low and middle-income countries. Globally cost has been estimated to US $700 billion annually and increasing. Mean age for a stroke in Africa is 57 years while the mean age in the developed countries are much higher (75 years in Sweden).

Every year, 69 million people sustain a traumatic brain injury (TBI) worldwide, 80% of these occur in low- and middle-income countries. The most common causes are road traﬃc incidents, falls and violence. It is estimated that these cases cost the world economy approximately US$400 billion each year. By improving the care processes of the diﬀerent stakeholders in the emergency services chain the human suﬀering as well as the societal cost could be reduced.
