Congratulations to our World Stroke Campaign Award Winners – WSO

World Stroke Organization shared a post on LinkedIn:

”Congratulations to our World Stroke Campaign Award WINNERS

Each year the WSO Campaign Committee reviews World Stroke Day campaigns from around the world, to identify and celebrate stand out public awareness activity from the global stroke community.

This year we have identified three worthy winners and three highly commended projects that all show impact, commitment and strategic creativity in improving public awareness of stroke and alignment with the goals and messages of the World Stroke Campaign.

Individual Achievement Award

  • Dr. Evans Nyambega

As the founder of the Stroke Association of Kenya, Evans has been at the forefront of WSO awareness campaigns and lived-experience advocacy initiatives since his own stroke in 2010.

He has been a strong World Stroke Day partner and, in a decade, and half has been instrumental in raising awareness of stroke with public and policy makers in Kenya.

This year’s campaign, delivered in collaboration with the local scientific association, demonstrated the development of a coordinated, impactful and sustainable approach to public awareness and advocacy in Kenya.

Best Campaign in a Low-Middle Income Country

  • AÇÃO AVC

The Brazil based stroke organization developed and delivered a sustained and rounded campaign with a high level of output, multiple engagement methods linked to clear evaluation metrics that showed a clear strategic approach to their communication campaign.

With messaging that spanned symptom awareness and prevention and broad audience reach, this campaign was a strong example of effective stroke communication that leveraged World Stroke Day as part of a year-round program.

Best Campaign in a High-Income Country

  • Freno al ICTUS Foundation

Freno al Ictus used a collaborative partnership with RENFE, the Spanish high-speed train network, to raise awareness of stroke symptoms and the need for fast action.

With station screens used to share information, videos on trains and stroke symptoms and emergency call numbers printed on tickets, the campaign sent its message along with passengers across the country.

Over three months the initiative reached 10 million travelers in five official national languages.
