"Urgent Action Needed: WHO Addresses Global Rise in Neurological Conditions"
A new study by The Lancet Neurology and the World Health Organization reveals that over 3 billion people worldwide were living with neurological conditions in 2021, making them the leading cause of ill health and disability. The study emphasizes the urgent need for targeted interventions to improve access to quality care, treatment, and rehabilitation for those affected. The Intersectoral Global Action Plan 2022–2031 aims to address the neglect of neurological disorders by improving prevention, early identification, treatment, and rehabilitation, as well as promoting brain health and disease prevention.
