Until the end of 2011 the trainings took place in 58 cities and provinces with 8.596 doctors participating. The attending doctors received a Certificate signed by the WSO and the Ministry of Health in Hanoi, Vietnam. In 2008 there was virtually no structures stroke care existing in Vietnam. Today, stroke is recognized as a separate disease by most doctors. Vietnam has now a National Stroke Society which holds annual meetings and a Vietnamese edition of the International Journal of Stroke.
