Committed to reducing the impact of stroke on everyone, everywhere.

Why Stroke Matters
1 in 4 people will have a stroke in their lifetime
12m 12 million new strokes each year
94m people are living with the effects of stroke
1.8m people will have a stroke before the age of 50
The time is now
On May 22nd world leaders adopted first ever WHO resolution on stroke - Reducing the Burden of Stroke: strengthening prevention, acute care, rehabilitation and health-system readiness.
After decades of being overlooked as a leading contributor to NCD deaths and disability, the resolution marks a major turning point for stroke patients worldwide.
With global commitment secured, our Coalition of scientific, patient and industry organizations is now focused on implementation and accountability.
Let's work together to deliver better stroke outcomes for all.
