Abstract:
Stroke Unit- / Stroke Center Care Abstract. About 16'000 people in Switzerland suffer from stroke, each year. In Switzerland, 23 Stroke units and Stroke centers are available to provide individual care for the vast majority of stroke patients.

Stroke units not only reduce mortality and permanent disability in stroke patients, but-alongside advanced recanalization therapies-represent the cornerstone of modern stroke care. The following article gives a detailed overview of core tasks and the current standards of treatment in stroke unit care.
