With the “World Stroke Day” the World Stroke Organization aims to communicate a unified message to the world: stroke is a preventable and treatable catastrophe, and together we can fight this growing epidemic. This year’s theme is “Stroke, what can I do?” The answer is - a lot. The World Stroke Organization prompts individuals, groups and governments to take action against stroke either at a personal, family, or group level.
World Stroke Day 2009: "Stroke, what can I do?"
The theme of the World Stroke Day 2009 “Stroke, what can I do?” implies that everyone can do something about stroke.
Our aim is to strongly encourage individuals, groups and governments to promote prevention methods and available treatments, and also provide and develop support groups not only to those hit by stroke but also to their relatives.
This year we are encouraging people all over the world to run World Stroke Day events. Materials are available online on WSO website to support this worldwide event, including lists of ideas for activities, a poster, a brochure and a press release.
