On Oct 29th WSO members, partners, patients and caregivers, industry and communities around the world came together to share the message that when it comes to stroke, every minute counts.
With a global audience reach of billions, this year's 'Minutes Save Lives' World Stroke Day message was shared by members, partners and public around the world. The WSO campaign was visible around the world, from billboards on the streets of Bulgaria, to the incredible light-up of Christ the Redeemer in Rio, demonstrated an incredible response to the campaign and visibility for stroke in communities around the world.
Among the many ‘firsts’ that World Stroke Day 2021 delivered were the first ever World Stroke Week campaign in Ethiopia, a global chain of indigo blue monument light ups from Sao Paulo to Singapore, the first stroke survivor opera performance and the first article on stroke symptoms in Vanity Fair magazine. We also saw the first commitment to a national stroke action plan in Ghana thanks to the on-going work of WSO members in the country.
