We are pleased to announce that the Every Minute Counts advocacy campaign—developed on behalf of the WSO-convened Global Stroke Action Coalition—has been awarded First Prize by the Global Health Marketing & Communications (GHMC) Network.
This recognition celebrates the commitment and collaboration of Coalition partners, the WSO team, and Infinity Communications over the past year. Together, we have worked to shape a unified vision, compelling messaging, and a strong campaign identity that has driven impactful global awareness and policy engagement on stroke.
Collective Achievements Over the Past Year
• Global Policy Leadership
We produced a comprehensive global policy brief outlining practical recommendations to strengthen stroke prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation across health systems worldwide.
• High-Level Political Engagement
The Coalition contributed to key global health moments, including policy events at WHA78, statements to the UN Civil Society Hearing on NCDs, input to the UN High-Level Meeting on NCDs, and participation in a stroke-focused UN General Assembly ministerial roundtable.
• A Global Awareness Campaign
The Every Minute Counts campaign mobilized widespread support, securing endorsements from Ministers and public stakeholders, uniting them behind a clear call for #StrokeActionNow.
• Strategic Advocacy With Lived Experience at the Centre
Our advocacy efforts amplified critical issues and opportunities for improving stroke care—ensuring that the lived experience of stroke survivors informed and shaped policy conversations.
This award underscores the impact of effective communication partnerships in driving change. It reflects the power of coordinated advocacy to spark dialogue, build momentum, and channel the diverse strengths of our Coalition toward better outcomes for people at risk of, or affected by, stroke.
We extend our sincere thanks to all Coalition members, the Infinity team, and partners who share our mission. Together, we are elevating the global voice for stroke—and we are only just beginning.
