Abstract
Stroke units are being organised in Poland since 1997. To ensure easy access to stroke care, 120 specialised units need to be created. There were 23 stroke units in Poland in the year 2000. Only 12 of them fulfilled the criteria of a standard stroke unit. Significant differences in stroke fatality were noted between well- and as yet insufficiently organised units. These results indicate a need for monitoring the implementation of the basic standards in stroke units.Keywords
