Advocacy
We want a Europe where preventable stroke is eliminated, death and disability is minimised and every person affected by stroke lives their best life possible.
To do this we need to ensure that each European country has a national stroke plan.
- We will ensure that stroke and the stroke survivor voice is clearly represented in the work of relevant European/ EU bodies (such as European Parliament, European Commission, Council of Ministries, Presidencies of the European Union and in Horizon Europe stroke projects) and World/WHO groups
- We will work in partnership with the European Stroke Organisation to mobilise key stakeholders to work with their governments to deliver a comprehensive stroke plan in each country
