We welcome the Resolution on Reducing the Burden of Stroke as an important opportunity to advance global health, UHC and development goals through equitable, effective and coordinated stroke care across the patient pathway.

We urge Member States to adopt this Resolution and commit to stroke action plans that encompass these key pillars as part of their strategic NCD response.
