11th Neuroscience20 Summit – November 16-17, Rio de Janeiro

04 Dec 2024

Immediate Past President Sheila Martins and Executive Director Mia Grupper proudly represented the World Stroke Organization at the recent Neuroscience20 Summit in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, held alongside the G20 meeting. They showcased the impactful work being done on behalf of the WSO to advance stroke prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation on a global scale.

The Neuroscience20 Summit aims to contribute to former US President Obama’s BRAIN initiative and to expand action on the current and upcoming initiatives across the G20 nations bringing together policymakers, scientists, physicians, and engineers to explore groundbreaking advancements in the treatment of neurological disorders. This high-level gathering served as a vital platform for multidisciplinary collaboration, focusing on innovative and actionable solutions to address neurological disorders which costs the world economy hundreds of billions of dollars annually.

A key outcome of the summit was the development of a declaration containing clear policy recommendations. This declaration will be presented to G20 nations, reinforcing the importance of prioritizing neurological health—including stroke—on the global health agenda.

WSO’s active involvement in the Neuroscience20 Summit marks another significant milestone in ensuring that stroke receives the urgent attention they deserve. By advocating for these critical issues on a global stage, WSO continues to lead the way in driving policy change, improving healthcare systems, and fostering international collaboration for better patient outcomes!
