SHERIDAN, WYOMING – May 6, 2025 – In a decisive move to address one of the fastest-growing global health threats, the Global Stroke Action Coalition was launched on April 9, 2025, calling on governments worldwide to make stroke a central priority in noncommunicable disease (NCD) strategies. With the global stroke burden projected to rise by 50% over the next 25 years—claiming an estimated 100 million lives and costing USD 1.6 trillion annually—this new multi-sectoral initiative is demanding urgent, evidence-based action.
