A comprehensive new publication brings together international perspectives on neurological structures and practice, reflecting the evolution of neurology worldwide.
The White Book on Global World Neurology ⧉ traces the historical development of neurology and its remarkable growth over recent decades, driven by advances in science, research, and the implementation of professional and institutional frameworks. It also explores differences in neurological capacity and systems worldwide, referencing the World Bank’s income-based regional classifications and the evolving North–South divide.
Edited by Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Grisold, Prof. Dr. Steven Lewis, Prof. Dr. Riadh Gouider, and Prof. Dr. Alla Guekht, the volume serves as a compendial summary of global neurology. It incorporates inputs from WFN regional member societies and aligns with the work of the World Health Organization (WHO), the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) under the UN ECOSOC, and related medical disciplines.
This publication provides a valuable overview of how neurology has developed across different regions and income levels;
It highlights not only the scientific and structural progress of recent decades, but also the global interconnections that are vital to advancing neurological care and education.
Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Grisold, WFN President
Offering a unique and up-to-date summary of global neurology, the White Book outlines current structures, workforce distributions, and procedures across regions, while also presenting perspectives on the future orientation and structure of neurological education.
The book will be of particular interest to professionals across the neurosciences — including neurology, neuropathology, neurophysiology, neurosurgery, psychiatry, internal medicine, neuroradiology, and neuropsychology — as well as to patient organizations, nurses, caregivers, and rehabilitation specialists, including physiotherapists, occupational therapists, and speech therapists.
