In September 2021 The Lancet Neurology published the most up-dated GBD stroke burden paper "Global, regional, and national burden of stroke and its risk factors, 1990–2019: a systematic analysis for the Global Burden of Disease Study 2019".
The full paper is available for free download, accompanied by the editorial comments by J. Pandian, WSO Vice President and WSO Board member.
Achieving our vision of a life free from stroke is a task that WSO cannot achieve alone. We are committed to building our partnerships at the global, regional and national level to scale up and deliver improvements in prevention, treatment and support to reduce the burden of stroke.
