WHO Resolution on Stroke
See the WHO resolution on stroke, just adopted today
Today, the World Health Assembly has adopted the first-ever resolution on stroke. This is a historic global commitment to reduce the burden of stroke through prevention, treatment, rehabilitation, and equitable access to care for all. Each year, 12 million people experience a stroke. For too long, we have not done enough to prevent it, treat it, or support those who survive. Today marks a true turning point. This moment belongs to all of us: to the survivors who shared their stories, the researchers who built the evidence, tenacious advocates who refused to be silent, and the Member States who answered the call for #StrokeActionNow. Today, your voices were heard. But this is only the beginning. A resolution is only as powerful as the action that follows, and we will not stop until comprehensive stroke services are available to all.
