The White Book of Neurology was launched to summarize the present global state of neurology in all regards, spanning history, development, and international aspects. The book highlights the contribution of the World Federation of Neurology and other global organizations, such as the World Health Organization and the United Nations Economic and Social Council, as they implement policies for addressing the growing burden of neurological disease. The most recent Global Burden of Disease study, published in 2024, estimated that 3.40 billion individuals are affected by a neurological illness. Yet, worldwide disparities in income and medical systems across countries lead to steep differences in the highest neurological standards of care available and number of neurologists per 100,000 population. This chapter serves as a primer to meet some of these challenges. For low- and lower-middle-income countries, this book instructs on establishing and developing neurology structures and services through a structured approach, taking limited resources into consideration. For upper-middle and high-income countries that may already have implemented structures, this book provides a common vision with content to help locally, including building, maintaining, and extending future structures for neurological care. In this manner, we anticipate this book will help all countries improve access to neurological care, as well as raise awareness, so that neurology will receive greater priority in health systems in the future.
