The high value for treated/total sent patients' ratio underlines that "drip-and-ship" teleconsultation model is appropriate and effective, with a few untreated patients.

"Drip-and-ship" teleconsultation model is safe and effective in rural areas, allowing good selections and rapid treatments for stroke patients, based on the transfer from the primary to the comprehensive stroke center.
