GSA 2024 MEETING
The Global Stroke Alliance (GSA) is a highly impactful implementation meeting created in 2020 in Brazil. Our primary mission is to establish a powerful global alliance committed to enhancing stroke care on a worldwide scale. To achieve this, we foster in-depth discussions on the implementation of evidence-based interventions at all levels of stroke care, including prevention, treatment, and rehabilitation. This congress serves as a platform that brings together stroke leaders from various countries, distinguished researchers, health professionals, health managers, scientific societies, industry representatives, and patients associations.
At the heart of the GSA is the dissemination of knowledge, the exchange of invaluable experiences, and the formulation of region-specific action plans tailored to the unique challenges and opportunities in different parts of the world. Our congress revolves around four fundamental pillars: education, research translated into practice, organization of services, and political engagement to build public policies. By addressing these pillars, the GSA aims to make significant contributions to the implementation of effective stroke care globally.
A notable highlight of the GSA is the Ministerial Meeting, where representatives from Ministries of Health and Ministries representatives across different countries converge with stroke experts to deliberate on existing gaps, explore the best models of stroke care, and propose potential solutions. Concrete plans for improvement are formulated during these discussions, ensuring tangible and impactful outcomes, leading to substantial advancements in stroke care in the region. Looking ahead, the GSA is rotating in various regions of the world to promote inclusivity and address the specific needs of each region.
The meeting will combine the GSA's immense engagement power to translate knowledge into health policies and implementation and the partners experience in quality of care, stroke care organization and professional qualification.
We have prepared an intense 3-day program. We invite you to join us in this global initiative to fight stroke without frontiers!
