ABSTRACT : There are 15 million people worldwide who suffer a stroke each year. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), stroke is the second leading cause of death for people above the age of 60 years, and the fifth leading cause in people aged 15 to 59 years old. Each year, nearly six million people worldwide die from stroke. One in six people worldwide will have a stroke in their lifetime. Every six seconds, stroke kills some. Stroke claims more than twice as many lives as AIDS. In fact, stroke continues to be responsible for more deaths annually than those attributed to AIDS, tuberculosis and malaria combined. The burden of stroke now disproportionately affects individuals living in resource-poor countries.Stroke, as a burden of disease, still remains little understood. Enhanced advocacy and sustained public health education at the global level must be undertaken. To date, stroke education and the delivery of the best possible care for stroke survivors needs to be put higher up on the public health agenda. A passive attitude towards stroke is no longer justifiable: stroke can be potentially prevented to a large extent, and acute stroke is potentially treatable. Notwithstanding, there is much more that can be done to improve the quality of life for people who have suffered from a stroke. Without coordinated effort on the part of the international public health community, stroke will claim the lives of up to 6.5 million people each year by 2015, according to the World Stroke Organization.
