Neurological disorders, such as strokes, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, dementia and Parkinson's disease, constitute a large and increasing share of the global burden of disease. This WHO publication brings together a wide range of information on neurological resources across 109 countries, with the participation of leading experts in neurology. The information is arranged under 15 broad themes and topics covered include: common neurological conditions and services in primary care and specialist settings; therapeutic drugs and services; number and types of health professionals; postgraduate teaching; financing issues and disability benefits; and the advocacy role of national associations and non-governmental organisations. The report highlights the fact that the available resources for neurological services in most countries are insufficient compared with the global need for neurological care; as well as the significant inequalities in resources across regions and income groups within countries.Dua, Tarun is the author of 'Atlas Country Resources For Neurological Disorders 2004' with ISBN 9789241562836 and ISBN 9241562838.
