The 2019 World Stroke Day Don't Be the One campaign put stroke prevention firmly on the world map on October 29th. With the support of our members the WSO message about the need for urgent action to address the 1 in 4 lifetime risk of stroke for over 25s reached millions around the world.
On social and broadcast media as well as in communities around the world stroke clinicians, survivors, caregivers and advocates pulled out all the stops to help raise awareness of the top ten stroke risks and the steps we can all take to prevent stroke.
