2023 Global Stroke Alliance
For stroke without frontiers
Welcome to the third edition of Global Stroke Alliance, for Strokes without frontiers!
The Global Stroke Alliance (GSA) is a highly impactful implementation meeting organized by the World Stroke Organization (WSO) since 2020. Our primary mission is to establish a powerful global alliance committed to enhancing stroke care on a worldwide scale. To achieve this, we foster in-depth discussions on the implementation of evidence-based interventions at all levels of stroke care, including prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. This prestigious congress serves as a platform that brings together stroke leaders from various countries, distinguished researchers, health professionals, health managers, scientific societies, industry representatives, and patient associations.
At the heart of the GSA is the dissemination of knowledge, exchange of invaluable experiences, and the formulation of region-specific action plans tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities in different parts of the world. Our congress revolves around 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.
A notable highlight of the GSA is the Ministerial Meeting, where representatives from Ministries of Health and Ministries across different countries converge with stroke experts to 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 tangible and impactful outcomes. 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 various 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, from 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 cordially invite you to join us in this global initiative to fight stroke! We have prepared an intense three-day program with exciting highlights. Together, let us transcend boundaries and create a world where stroke care knows no frontiers.
Sincerely,
Sheila Martins
WSO President
