African Educational Initiative

The World Stroke Organization (WSO) is committed to addressing the rising burden of stroke in low- and middle-income countries (LMICs), where stroke deaths are projected to increase dramatically by 2050. Through strategic collaborations, including with MERZ Therapeutics, WSO aims to improve stroke care and rehabilitation services, enhance healthcare professional training, and implement evidence-based protocols and stroke units. These efforts focus on scalable solutions to bridge disparities and expand access to quality stroke care in underserved regions.

Stroke Checklists

The Stroke Checklist project aim is to develop and disseminate actionable, evidence-based stroke care checklists relevant to a global audience in their everyday clinical practice. These checklists address a variety of stroke-related topics ranging from hyperacute thrombolysis and endovascular care to secondary prevention management and rehabilitation. With an emphasis on supportive management, these checklists are deigned to be adaptable to different local resource settings.

Testimonials

Junaid Ahmed – Physiotherapist

Very informative and useful information which leads to achieve good results with the patients

Junaid Ahmed – Physiotherapist
R. Namushi, MD (United Kingdom)

‘A very important subject that is rarely discussed or considered during the management of most stroke patients. The highlight for me is the fact that exercise has better long term outcome than what we as stroke physicians spend our time such prescribing statins etc.’

R. Namushi, MD (United Kingdom)

Our partners and sponsors

Achieving our vision of a life free from stroke is a task that WSO cannot achieve alone. We are committed to building our partnerships at the global, regional and national level to scale up and deliver improvements in prevention, treatment and support to reduce the burden of stroke.
