How we built a Neuroscience and Stroke Center in Punjab Pakistan; Drs. Asif Bashir, Qasim Bashir; and Ghaus Malik

SUMMARY: Drs Asif and Qasim Bashir with the mentoring of Dr Ghaus Malik, describe how they built a First Rate Stroke Center and Neuroscience Center in Punjab, Pakistan for 160 million people. Combining the needs of of the private sector with those of the large public population and using government and private funds, they have developed a leading practice, research and educational program that is a model for those in the LMIC. 85% of the world's population and 85% of global disease occurs in the LMIC. This program is an example of why the centers of disease management will shift from the HIC to the LMIC where billions of the world's population reside. It also describes how to attract and use public and private funds to address the health needs of the country. Both centers are being used as training grounds for those in the HIC, who do not have access to large volumes of clinical experience or for less costly but quality care medicine.
