Already one of the top three drivers of non-communicable disease related mortality and preventable disability, globally. Each year an estimated 12 million people will experience a stroke, resulting in over 6 million deaths. Without urgent action, the human and economic consequences of stroke are staggering, with an annual projected global cost exceeding $1.6 trillion by 2050.
Advances in stroke prevention, treatment and rehabilitation mean that stroke is preventable, treatable and recoverable. We have the tools to turn the tide.
Join us to find out more about the devastating impact of stroke and the enormous opportunities that exist for prevention, treatment, and recovery, through cost effective based policy interventions.
Event features
- Interactive panel discussion with global clinical, policy and industry leaders
- Real world perspectives from Ministries of Health working to turn the tide on stroke
- Voices of lived experience to highlight the consequences, needs, and priorities of survivors and caregivers around the world
- Networking lunch
Be sure to join us at this critical moment for stroke and NCD policy.
