Welcome to the third edition of Global Stroke Alliance, for Stroke without frontiers!

04 Jul 2023

The Global Stroke Alliance (GSA) is an impactful implementation meeting organized by the World Stroke Organization (WSO) since 2020. Our primary objective is to establish a powerful global alliance dedicated to enhancing stroke care worldwide. We achieve this by facilitating discussions on the implementation of evidence-based interventions across all levels of stroke care, including prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. This prestigious congress serves as a platform to bring together stroke leaders from various countries, renowned researchers, health professionals, health managers, scientific societies, industry representatives, and patient associations.

At the core of the GSA is the dissemination of knowledge, exchange of valuable experiences, and the formulation of region-specific action plans tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities in each part of the world. Our congress focuses on four fundamental pillars: education, research, organization of services, and political engagement to build public policies. By addressing these pillars, the GSA aims to make significant contributions to the implementation of effective stroke care globally.

One notable highlight of the GSA is the Ministerial Meeting, where representatives from Ministries of Health and Ministries across different countries come together with stroke expertsto deliberate on existing gaps, explore the best models of stroke care, and propose potential solutions. Concrete plans for improvement are formulated during these discussions, ensuring a tangible and impactful outcome. In the last Ministerial Meeting held in Brazil in 2022, representatives from 17 Latin American and Caribbean countries, including 7 Ministers of Health, participated, leading to substantial advancements in stroke care in the region.

Looking ahead, the GSA will rotate annually in different regions of the world to promote inclusivity and address the specific needs of each region. We are thrilled to announce that the third edition will take place in New Delhi, India on September 6 to 8. We aim to leverage the opportunities presented by the G20 Meeting and its managers to create synergy in another edition of the Global Stroke Alliance, featuring a Global Ministerial Stroke Meeting.

We have prepared an intense three-day program with exciting highlights:

Workshop for the Implementation of Acute Care in India and South East Asia:

We invite you to join us in this global initiative to fight stroke! Together, let us transcend boundaries and create a world where stroke care knows no frontiers.
