On 14 October 2025, The European Stroke Organisation (ESO) and the Stroke Alliance for Europe (SAFE) will host an event at the European Parliament in Brussels to highlight these systemic gaps and introduce the forthcoming Stroke Action Plan for Europe (SAP-E). This upcoming plan will outline evidence-based, cost-effective solutions designed to improve stroke care across Europe.
The event, Closing the Gaps in Stroke Care: A Call to Action for Europe, will bring together:
- EU and national policymakers
- Stroke survivors and caregivers
- Healthcare professionals and researchers
- Civil society and public health partners
The speakers at the event will outline ways to provide comprehensive stroke care across the entire care pathway, from prevention and emergency response to rehabilitation and long-term support, with a focus on better aligning EU-level initiatives and national implementation, including through the upcoming EU Cardiovascular Health Plan (CVH Plan).
