The national campaign "Life after a stroke" on the occasion of 9.05.2023 - European Stroke Awareness Day is organized by the Stroke and Aphasia Association.
We are glad that our campaign is supported by the regional and national structures of neurologists in Bulgaria, which provide free examinations after a stroke, as a secondary prevention.
More than 50 municipalities that supported the fight against stroke at the end of last year on the World Stroke Day are now joined by another 48.
It is important for us to have a traditional partnership with the Bulgarian Red Cross, who provides volunteers to disseminate information about a personal risk assessment application Riskometer.
The Municipality of Sofia supports us through the Metropolitan of the city, where every day hundreds of thousands of Sofia citizens learn the symptoms of a stroke and how to react when they are detected.
For the first time, the National Campaign of the Association for Stroke and Aphasia will have its capital, and it is no coincidence that it is the Old Capital city of Veliko Tarnovo. This is an expression of the absolute devoted support of the municipal administration, led by the mayor, Dr. Eng. Daniel Panov.
Here are the key events for the campaign:
10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. Open reception for stroke survivors and their relatives - in front of the Assumption Cathedral
11:00 a.m. in the same church - for the first time in the country, a prayer service will be held for stroke survivors and their relatives
At 3:00 p.m., the Memorandum of Cooperation of the Municipality with the Stroke and Aphasia Association will be presented in the Veliko Tarnovo Municipality. A short press conference will be held after the presentation
It is in Veliko Tarnovo that the first regional Stroke Support Group for stroke survivors and their caregivers will be opened officially!
At 5:00 p.m. in the "Rafael Mihailov" Gallery Exhibition Hall - ceremony for official opening of paintings exhibition by Donka Dimitrova entitled "Life after a stroke - creative"
