Around 80 million people living in the world today have experienced a stroke and over 50m survivors live with some form of permanent disability as a result. While for many, life after stroke won’t be quite the same, with the right care and support quality of life is still possible. The Hellenic Stoke Organization is launching an important public awareness initiative, on the 29th of October, World Stroke Day.
With the slogan “Stroke can be prevented and treated” specialized medical staff and healthcare providers will hold a community activation event in Syntagma Square in Athens, so as to boost awareness about stroke, its prevention and treatment strategies. The Hellenic Stroke Organization reaches out to the public to disseminate that risk factor modification in combination with healthy lifestyle is the key point towards an effective primary prevention. We want to focus the world’s attention on the early signs of stroke and the necessity of a rapid response and access to treatment, highlighting that “time is brain!” Our campaign materials provide lots of simple messages that will force public awareness.
This awareness initiative is supported by well-known personalities and Greek artists, who are joining forces to increase awareness among the public and stress the importance of taking steps towards prevention. The famous actress Karmen Rouggeri will speak in lay language about the prevention of stroke and Mrs Victoria Alexandratou will share with the public her experience and feelings as care giver of her mother who suffered from stroke. Greek Journalists from National and TV Radio channels have already expressed their interest to interview the President of HSO, Dr Kostas Vemmos and cover the event.
Dissemination of our messages has already started in Greek sites and social media (twitter @HSO_2019 and facebook):
