World Stroke Day
World Stroke Day is observed on October 29 to underscore the serious nature and high rates of stroke, raise awareness of the prevention and treatment of the condition, and ensure better care and support for survivors.〔(About World Stroke Day 2011 ), Kenes International〕 On this day, organizations around the world have facilitated events emphasizing education, testing, and initiatives to improve the damaging effects of stroke worldwide. The annual event was started in 2006 by the World Stroke Organization(WSO)and the WSO declared stroke a public health emergency in 2010.〔(World Stroke Organization declares public health emergency on World Stroke Day ), Medical News Today〕 The WSO now has an ongoing campaign that serves as a year-round interface for advocacy, policy, and outreach to support strides and continue progress made on World Stroke Day.
The World Stroke Campaign's goodwill ambassadors include Indian actress Rani Mukerji,〔(Rani Mukherji to spread awareness about stroke ), Glamsham Editorial.〕 former Miss Egypt Dalia El Behery,〔(El-Biheri, willgood ambassador ), Al-Masry Al-Youm English Edition.〕 and cyclist Alberto Contador,〔(Alberto Contador joins the World Stroke Campaign ), Alberto Contador Sitio Oficial.〕
==History==
Stroke has been and continues to be a widespread disease worldwide, afflicting over 15 million people each year. Of those 15 million, almost six million die and a further five million are left permanently disabled. A new person suffers a stroke every six seconds.〔(International Cardiovascular Disease Statistics ), American Heart Association, 2007.〕 The idea to create a day of awareness began in the 1990s with the European Stroke Initiative. Due to financial limitations, however, the effort was limited only to Europe. The European Stroke Organization continued the project, and celebrates its awareness day on May 10.〔Kaste, Markku. ("Every Day is a World Stroke Day" ) ''Stroke'' 41 (2010):2449-2450.〕 The WSO World Stroke Day began in 2004 at the World Stroke Congress in Vancouver, Canada.〔Kaste, Markku and Bo Norrving. “From the World Stroke Day to the World Stroke Campaign: one in six: act now!” ''International Journal of Stroke'' 5 no 5 (2010): 342-343.〕 Under the direction of Dr. Vladimir Hachinski, a working group was formed, which was incorporated into a World Stroke Proclamation in October 2006.〔(World Stroke Day 2008 ), World Stroke Organization.〕 Around the same time, the International Stroke Society and the World Stroke Federation merged to form the World Stroke Organization, which took over the management of World Stroke Day.〔(History ), Kenes International.〕
In 2009, WSO leadership turned the day into a year-round campaign to sustain efforts at prevention and awareness raising. In 2010, the WSO launched the (“1 in 6” campaign ) that became the overarching theme for the future campaigns. “Because I care…” was chosen in 2012 as the World Stroke Day slogan and carried on to this year’s campaign. It attempts to address prevailing misinformation about the disease. 〔(About the World Stroke Campaign ), Kenes International.〕
