Stroke is on the rise globally with low and middle-income countries making up an increasing proportion of the global stroke burden. Low public awareness of stroke prevention, issues with healthcare system capacity and limited financial resources pose particular challenges to campaigns in these countries. We want to recognize the dedication and impact organizations in these countries have made to overcoming barriers and raising awareness of stroke prevention treatment and care issues among the public, healthcare professionals and policy makers.
