Neuro Connections
Watch our three-part vodcast series, Neuro Connections, developed in collaboration with the World Stroke Organization, where we discuss current post-stroke care challenges and potential solutions with global specialists, advocates and healthcare professionals.
“As we confront the staggering impact of stroke for millions of people around the world, it is imperative that we shine a light on the often-overlooked journey of recovery and support that follows. The Neuro Connections vodcast serves as a crucial platform to not only discuss these challenges but to ignite a global dialogue on improving long-term care for stroke survivors. By prioritizing post-stroke support, we can not only enhance individual lives but also mitigate the broader societal and economic burdens associated with delayed, or inaccessible care.”
