What are the global challenges for optimal Neuro Trauma Treatment?
Lack of epidemiological data, especially in low- and middle-income countries (LMIC)
Short-term treatment focus
Treatment nihilism about cognitive, behavioural and depressive disorders in acute care
Organizational problems:
Lack of information flow about patient long-term needs
Lack of specialists (e.g. in rehab)
Lack of follow-up visits
Lack of collaboration between medical specialists involved in patient‘s 'Chain of Recovery'
