🏆 Congratulations to Joseph Rukelibuga, recipient of the WSO Global Lived Experience Advocacy Award at #WSC2026 in Seoul. 👏
🧠 Can blood biomarkers detect remote ischaemic lesions after ICH?
Our review in #CerebrovascularDiseases finds no biomarker ready for routine clinical use.
Grateful to my mentors, co-authors, @NIHRresearch & @uniofleicester

Important work with concerning implications. Well done @SarahMatuja for continuing to extensively study stroke and cerebrovascular epidemiology in Tanzania.
Tanzania launches 1st stroke registry follow-up study! Key findings: 9/10 patients died within 3 years, no health insurance =4x higher risk of death. Call to Action: Universal Health Coverage & structured follow-up for stroke survivors are CRITICAL! lnkd.in/dKBrjhfM
