The Angels Initiative is a healthcare intervention established by Boehringer Ingelheim, dedicated to improving stroke patients’ chances of survival and a disability-free life. Since 2016, an estimated 7,5 million patients have been treated in over 6,000 Angels hospitals worldwide, including more than 1,400 new stroke-ready hospitals established across the world with the help of Angels. Angels’ mission is to ensure regions have appropriate geographical coverage, so that all stroke patients have access to the same level of care wherever they are, continuously improve the quality of care, to offer our patients the best outcomes, grow the people in Angels community including doctors, nurses, ambulance staff and everyone in the stroke team through education, support, mentorship, sharing ideas and providing acknowledgement and build and develop an efficient regional referral network, where primary, comprehensive centres and EMS services work together to provide patients the best level of care.
