In this episode of the ResearchWorks podcast, Dr Sarah McIntyre shares findings from a global review of cerebral palsy prevalence across 41 regions. The study shows a decline in high-income countries (1.6 per 1000 births) but much higher rates in low- and middle-income countries. She stresses the need for strong cerebral palsy surveillance and reliable data to guide global health planning.
