[Correspondence] A global call to strengthen neurological care for all

Neurological disorders are the leading cause of poor health and disability, affecting more than 3 billion people and causing more than 11 million deaths annually.1 This crisis is accelerating because of population ageing and improved survival, which increase the burden of chronic neurological conditions, while neurotropic infections and perinatal injuries remain prevalent. Low-income and middle-income countries (LMICs) face the greatest burden, yet they often have inadequate resources to tackle it, further widening global health inequities.
