WHAT A FUCKING JOKE! You have stroke in your name and you want others to solve the problems you yourself are running from? This is why we need survivors in charge! I wouldn't give a penny to your incompetence! I see NOTHING ON 100% RECOVERY; the only goal in stroke!

Advocacy priority 1 – Stroke Prevention
Stroke is a vascular catastrophe to the brain and is caused by an occlusion
or rupture of a brain vessel causing acute paresis, disturbance of motor
coordination and dexterity mostly on one side of the body. Speech disturbance
and visual defects often occur. While treatment has made great progress, the
mainstay of coping with this disabling or deadly disease remains prevention.
There is a potential to reduce the number of strokes substantially. Cutting Stroke
in Half is WSO’s flagship advocacy initiative with a focus on the global prevention
of stroke and dementia. The effective implementation of population-wide
strategies could prevent over half of stroke and cardiovascular disease events.
Guiding principles include reducing exposure to stroke risk factors; implementing
and promoting motivational mobile technologies; facilitating access to low dose
combination medications in one polypill for specific groups and investing in the
training and deployment of community health workers.

Advocacy priority 2 – Stroke Recognition
Improving public awareness of stroke and rapid recognition of the symptoms of
stroke and of the benefits of timely hospital admission increases an individual’s
chances of preventing death and disability. The WSO “Save Minutes. Save Lives -
#Precioustime” campaign aims to raise awareness of stroke warning signs and
the critical importance of seeking emergency medical care if stroke is suspected.

Advocacy priority 3 – Stroke Services
Rapid hospital admission and stroke unit care leads to better patient outcomes.
Well-organized stroke care can significantly (up to 30%) reduce post-stroke
morbidity and mortality. Clot-busting drugs applied in a timely manner (within a
few hours after onset) increase the chance of a good outcome by a further 30%.

Advocacy priority 4 – Life After Stroke
Many stroke survivors face significant challenges that include physical
disability; communication difficulties; changes in how they think, feel and
act; alongside loss of work, income, independence, and social networks.
Ensuring people affected by stroke have access to neuro-rehabilitation units
and when needed to long-term rehabilitation and support that is essential
for health, well-being and social participation. WSO invests in and advocates
for the meaningful involvement of stroke survivors and caregivers in the
development of national, regional and global policy.

Advocacy priority 5 – Action and accountability
WSO calls for bolder actions from both governmental and non-governmental
organisations, including taxation from sugar loaded drinks, tobacco and alcohol
(STAX) towards improving stroke treatment, prevention and rehabilitation
services and to enhance population-based prevention programmes. WSO
supports and advocates for the development and delivery of evidence-based
comprehensive measures that encompass prevention, acute care, rehabilitation
and support. WSO develops and provides guidance and support to members,
partners and stakeholders to support national advocacy and works with
national and regional members and global partners to advance strategies
and ensure accountability for government action on their international
commitments in relation to investment in NCD prevention, universal health
coverage and participation.

Pose these questions/positions to my Doctors at my health institution
and they respond with arguments about prevention and care programs. But mumblings about cure programs that no way approach 100% recovery. Say it loud and say it often. Thank you sir for your voice.
