  This thrombolytic treatment for stroke has been going on in the advanced countries for years but it has now been introduced at KATH . Why does Ghana send their medical personnel overseas to acquire advanced medical knowledge and innovation but cannot implement same upon returning to their home country.
  It should be emphasized that this form of treatment is effective only within certain hours of the beginning of the stroke and therefore time is of essence. It is not a treatment for all strokes and the public must be educated about this time factor.
  The health sector must educate the public about basic health information to help them have some lay man knowledge about some of these diseases.

  You are very correct. Time is of essence here. These clot-busters can only be given within 4-hr time window. Beyond that time frame, it is not beneficial, according to research and my own personal experience as a Stroke Coordinator in a comprehensive Stroke Center. When it comes to stroke, TIME IS BRAIN.
