The largest ever randomised controlled trial of intensive blood pressure lowering after blood clot removal in stroke patients found it led to deterioration in surrounding brain tissue and higher rates of disability, compared to less intensive treatment. 

Three George Institute researchers have scored finding from the Australian Government’s Medical Research Futures Fund to find new ways of treating high blood pressure and stroke, and preventing brain injury after cardiac arrest.

The George Institute for Global Health, India is delighted to announce that it has been appointed Secretariat of the Taskforce on Women and Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs). To mark this exciting chapter, a new Taskforce website launches today.
