Publication/Presentation Date

Abstract

The World Federation of Neurology (WFN) has used the term brain health for many years and implemented the Brain Health campaign in 2020. This year's World Brain Day continues the WFN's engagement on brain health, emphasizing its relevance "for all ages." This continues on prior themes, such as Brain Health for All (2022), Brain Health and Disability (2023), and Brain Health and Prevention (2024). The burden of neurological disease is not evenly distributed worldwide, and significant differences exist across age groups and regions. The disparities reflect broader inequalities in healthcare infrastructure, workforce capacity, public health investment, and social determinants of health. The WFN World Brain Day raises awareness of all these issues as they pertain to brain health with the goal of improving equitable access to neurological care.
