A comprehensive new publication brings together international perspectives on neurological structures and practice, reflecting the evolution of neurology worldwide.
A unique up-to-date summary of global neurology with inputs of WFN, WHO and SDG of UN ECOSOC
Overview and possible future orientation and structure of education
In an era of rapid medical advancement, the need for a unified global perspective on brain health has never been more critical. This landmark publication, edited by an international team of visionaries, serves as the definitive compendium for modern neurology. By integrating the high-level expertise of the World Federation of Neurology (WFN) with the strategic frameworks of the World Health Organization (WHO), the book offers an unparalleled summary of neurological structures and clinical practices across every continent.
The authority of this work is rooted in the diverse leadership of its editors. From the Ludwig Boltzmann Institute in Vienna, and Immediate past president, Wolfgang Grisold brings a European perspective on clinical excellence. Steven Lewis (WFN President), from the Lehigh Valley Fleming Neuroscience Institute (USA), contributes a North American focus on education and practice standards. Representing the Mediterranean and African regions, Riadh Gouider of Razi University Hospital (Tunisia) and WFN First Vice-President, offers vital insights into regional health development, while Alla Guekht of the Moscow Research and Clinical Center for Neuropsychiatry bridges the gap between clinical neurology and neuropsychiatry.
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 Immediate Past President
What truly sets this work apart is its commitment to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. The text moves beyond theory to analyze how neurological care must adapt to different economic realities—from high-income nations to the unique challenges of the "North-South divide." This makes it an indispensable guide not only for neurologists and neurosurgeons but for the entire multidisciplinary care team, including psychiatrists, therapists, and patient advocacy organizations.
Beyond its clinical insights, this resource is a visionary tool for the future of medical education, providing a strategic blueprint for how neurological training must evolve to meet global needs. To ensure this vital knowledge reaches everyone, the title is available in fully optimized, accessible formats. Whether using the PDF/UA-1 compliant version for screen readers or the WCAG 2.2 Level AA standard ePub, these insights are available to every practitioner, student, and caregiver, regardless of their access needs.
