We recommend health policymakers to authorize telemedicine technology in LMICs. Many important aspects of acute stroke management, from EMS dispatch to the selection of eligible cases for intravenous thrombolysis or endovascular therapy, can be performed via Telestroke [5] . Stroke centers need to practice 24/7 outpatient support using secured video-audio applications or at least telephone questionnaires to address vascular risk factors and assure medication compliance. LMICs need to be supported to continue fighting against stroke.	./cache/cord-330137-7w7wqy4h.txt	./txt/cord-330137-7w7wqy4h.txt
