Each year 14 million people suffer stroke worldwide and 80m people living in the world have experienced stroke. Stroke is a leading cause of death and disability. 116 million years of life are lost each year to stroke related death and disability. The WSO mission is to reduce the global burden of stroke through more effective prevention, better treatment and long-term support.
WSO strategy is developed and delivered by our members - a global team of stroke leaders, working to reduce the global burden of stroke. Our programmes are developed and led by our Committees, Board, Executive and implemented by expert project Task Forces.
