Join us for World Brain Day #AccessforAll
Everyone deserves equitable access to brain health care and support, as close to home as possible.
What is World Brain Day
World Brain Day, established by the World Federation of Neurology in 2014 and supported by the World Health Organization, is celebrated annually on 22 July to highlight the importance of brain health across all ages and to advocate for better prevention, care, and research for neurological conditions.
Why it Matters
Anyone can acquire a brain injury. It could be you or your loved one. What would you do if you had nowhere to go, no one to turn to for support? Access to specialist neuro-rehabilitation support helps survivors and their families to rebuild their lives.
We believe support should not depend on where you live.
This World Brain Day, the theme is simple but important, #AccessForAll. Everyone should have the chance to rebuild their lives.
