The Asia Pacific Stroke Organization is the largest international and professional stroke group in the region. It has worked consistently over the last 10 years to gain visibility and reliability across the Asia Pacific and beyond. The 10 year journey will be reviewed in the background of many internal and external developments including changes in Asia Pacific stroke epidemiology, stroke care systems, stroke service developments as well as major research studies in the Asia Pacific.
