World Stroke Day is observed on October 29 to underscore the serious nature and high rates of stroke, raise awareness of the prevention and treatment of the condition, and ensure better care and support for survivors.
World Stroke Day 2023
One in four of us will have a stroke in our lifetime. 90% of strokes could be prevented by action on a handful of manageable risk factors including high blood pressure, atrial fibrillation (irregular heartbeat), smoking, diet and exercise. On October 29th 2023, we will be mobilizing stroke stakeholders around the world to drive awareness and action on stroke prevention around the world. Together we can be #GreaterThan stroke.
