Abstract
This study examines the impact of Neuquén's pioneering Stroke Law in Argentina, focusing on its enactment and implementation. Neuquén, facing a high stroke incidence, established the first Argentinean legislation for stroke management, including prevention, acute treatment, and rehabilitation. The law led to the creation of the Provincial Stroke Network and inclusion of alteplase in the Neuquén Therapeutic Formulary. Results demonstrate advancements in healthcare delivery, with significant implications for public health policy and stroke management in Argentina. The study highlights challenges, particularly during the COVID-19 pandemic, and suggests future directions for comprehensive stroke care.
