Dear members of the SB,
As part of the strategy to resolve the worldwide shortage of thrombolytic therapy, the BSC has been informed that Boehringer-Ingelheim will temporarily produce Actilyse vials with latex plugs that could also contain traces of Gentamycine. These vials could be encountered in your local hospital from the end of October onward (and will likely be produced for several months).
BI states that boxes containing vials with latex plugs and vials that could contain traces of Gentamycine will be clearly labeled by stickers (see photograph). These vials should never be administered to patients with a latex/rubber sensitivity or sensitivity to Gentamycine.

Europe is failing to provide adequate stroke care and support
The scale of stroke care crisis is laid bare by new data release
New data collected as part of the Stroke Action Plan for Europe (SAP-E) Stroke Service Tracker reveals the
gross inequity of access to care and support for stroke patients and stroke survivors across Europe.
The SAP-E was launched in 2018 to provide a framework for European governments to improve stroke care
and support for all European citizens. As part of this plan, data from 36 countries across Europe, covering
12 key areas of improvement, has been collected in and is available via the SAP-E website.
