Stroke prevention care ideally involves healthcare providers with expertise in stroke care
Stroke prevention care ideally involves healthcare providers with expertise in stroke care, and takes place in any setting and for patients with all types of stroke and all stroke severities, including in designated prevention clinics, vascular risk reduction programs, chronic disease management programs, acute care hospitals, emergency departments, primacy care and other community settings, and in the home, based on resource and facility availability.
Where available, validated mobile educational and preventative tools (e.g. Stroke Riskometer app,; Feigin et al 2015) should be used by both health professionals and lay people.
Achieving our vision of a life free from stroke is a task that WSO cannot achieve alone. We are committed to building our partnerships at the global, regional and national level to scale up and deliver improvements in prevention, treatment and support to reduce the burden of stroke.
