This still leaves 5 million persons a year disabled by stroke! Which is why the WSO needs to be run by survivors, they wouldn't leave anyone behind because they would solve stroke to 100% recovery! LEADERS SOLVE PROBLEMS; nobody in the WSO is a leader!

Abstract
The study was designed to prove the World Stroke Organisation’s concept of a
comprehensive intervention approach in primary prevention to “Cut Stroke in Half”,
conceived by former World Stroke Organisation President Michael Brainin from Austria,
and Professor Valery Feigin from New Zealand.
This review summarizes the potential for polypill therapies for stroke prevention. While a number of studies applying different approaches regarding polypill have been performed, none of them has had a focus on stroke as the main outcome. A combination pill containing drugs such as statins, diuretics, and other antihypertensives is currently available in various formats. Estimates focusing mostly on primary prevention show that using such a combination drug a reduction in the 5-year stroke incidence by 50% can be achieved - especially in low- and middle-income countries with a high prevalence of risk factors even among people at young ages. A combination of a large supporting population-wide program with a registry-based quality control is the most likely perspective and can be achieved within a reasonable time frame and potentially have significant influence in young stroke populations.
