One in six people worldwide will have a stroke in his lifetime. Although it’s frightening to think about, it’s an event that will affect many of us. We need to prepare with education and awareness.

That’s why patients and medical professionals have come together to develop the Global AF Patient Charter, setting out life-saving recommendations including earlier diagnosis and access to appropriate treatment.

Educate yourself on stroke prevention by signing the Patient Charter.

We need to make sure that decision makers know just how critical this issue really is. We are calling on national leaders to set stroke prevention as a priority.

We’re also calling on healthcare providers to integrate knowledge and practices that will help with early detection, prevention, and treatment. These measures will save lives.
