The 2024 World Brain Day (WBD 2024) will unite neurologists, patients, advocates and educators all over the world under the theme \u201cBrain Health and Prevention.\u201d Taking place on Monday, July 22 at 12:00 GST, this global initiative is designed to proactively address risk factors for neurological diseases, emphasize the importance of early detection and effective management, and disseminate global education.<\/span> <\/div>\n

To honor the event, the World Federation of Neurology (WFN) will host a webinar that is free and open to the public to share vital information about brain health and prevention on July 22<\/span>, at 12:00 GMT<\/span>. The webinar will feature distinguished neurology experts from renowned organizations such as the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Stroke Organization.

Organized by the WFN, World Brain Day is an annual global initiative designed to shed light on crucial aspects of brain health. With neurological disorders affecting over 3.40 billion people\u2014and 11.1 million related deaths recorded in 2021 alone\u2014awareness surrounding preventive measures has never been more important.<\/p>\n

“Addressing the well-being of our minds and taking preventive measures is like securing a roadmap for what lies ahead. It’s not just about responding when issues arise; it’s about proactively fostering a mindset of prevention against neurological conditions,” said Prof. Wolfgang Grisold<\/span>, President of WFN. “Our commitment to averting neurological disorders forms the foundation of our resilience for the future.”<\/p>\n

This year’s theme of Brain Health and Prevention encapsulates the mission to proactively address risk factors for neurological diseases , emphasize the importance of early detection and effective management, and disseminate global education on prevention strategies.<\/p>\n

The focus on Brain Health and Prevention revolves around five key pillars:<\/p>\n

Neurological disorders are preventable through early detection and effective management. Global education on prevention for brain health is imperative. Socioeconomic status or geographic location should not be barriers to prevention. Healthcare professionals, researchers, and policymakers play pivotal roles in addressing the global neurological needs. Recognizing brain health as a fundamental human right is at the core of our mission. <\/p>\n

During the webinar, WFN will also be joined by its six Regional Neurological Societies, who will discuss prioritizing prevention in their respective regions and what patients, family members, and advocates can contribute today:<\/p>\n

Dr. Lawrence Tucker<\/span>, President, African Academy of Neurology Dr. Carlayne E. Jackson<\/span>, President, American Academy of Neurology Prof. Christopher Chen<\/span>, President, Asian and Oceanian Association of Neurology Prof. Elena Moro<\/span>, President-Elect, European Academy of Neurology Prof. Riadh Gouider, President, Pan American Federation of Neurological Societies Dr. Ahmed Cairo<\/span>, President, Pan Arab Union of Neurological Societies <\/p>\n

“For too long, people with neurological disabilities have been marginalized,” noted Prof. Tissa Wijeratne<\/span>, Co-Chair of World Brain Day. “It is imperative that we take immediate steps to rectify inequitable healthcare policies and promote essential education, paving the way for a world that is more compassionate, inclusive, and fair for everyone.”<\/p>\n
