World Brain Day by Dr Praveen Gupta, Principle Director and Chief of Neurology, Fortis Hospital.

▴ World Brain Day
The projected 25% increase in stroke incidence over the next decade highlights the urgent need for continued research and public health initiatives. By raising awareness and promoting brain health through education, lifestyle changes, and policy support, we can mitigate the impact of these disorders and improve the quality of life for millions.

On World Brain Day, we celebrate the advancements in neurology that have transformed our understanding and treatment of brain disorders. Recent data shows that neurological conditions affect more than one billion people globally, with conditions like Alzheimer's disease and stroke leading the way. The World Health Organization reports that neurological disorders are the leading cause of disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) and the second leading cause of death worldwide.

 

Innovations in neuroimaging, genetic research, and neuropharmacology have significantly improved early diagnosis and personalized treatments. For instance, advancements in MRI technology have enhanced our ability to detect early signs of neurodegenerative diseases, allowing for timely interventions. Additionally, the development of new medications and therapies has provided hope for those living with chronic neurological conditions.

 

However, the projected 25% increase in stroke incidence over the next decade highlights the urgent need for continued research and public health initiatives. By raising awareness and promoting brain health through education, lifestyle changes, and policy support, we can mitigate the impact of these disorders and improve the quality of life for millions.

 

Let us use this day to reaffirm our commitment to advancing brain health and supporting those affected by neurological conditions.
