SSO resources

We have a number of resources to help you to strengthen your organisation, to engage in advocacy and to hear about good practice in long term stroke care.

This toolkit offers advice and help to those wishing to set up an SSO in countries where none exist. It also gives guidance on growing your SSO in different countries and contexts, with examples of how SSOs across the world have achieved success and growth.

The Global Stroke Bill of Rights is an important priority for the World Stroke Organization. These rights identify the aspects of care that are important for ALL stroke survivors and caregivers from across the world. This toolkit is designed to help stroke and patient organizations share and use the Global Stroke Bill of Rights.
