One Voice for Neurology

Neurology on the Global Agenda

OneNeurology Episode 18

Stroke and other neurological conditions are a leading cause of death and disability worldwide—but solutions exist. In this episode of One Voice for Neurology, Sam Pauly explores the global neurology agenda just days before the 4th UN High Level Meeting on NCDs, with five years left to meet the SDG 3.4 target of reducing premature mortality from non-communicable diseases.

Hear from:

  • Mia Grupper (Executive Director) and Prof. Jeyaraj Pandian (President) of the World Stroke Organization on the global burden of stroke, advocacy at the UN, and initiatives like the Global Stroke Action Coalition.
  • Dr Lucy Sykes and colleagues from Ghana and The Gambia on real-world partnerships improving stroke care in resource-limited settings.
  • Dr Matilde Leonardi on neurorehabilitation, its impact, and access challenges in global neurological care.

From high-level policy to practical solutions on the ground, this episode shows how collaboration, advocacy, and rehabilitation can make a tangible difference for people affected by neurological disorders.
