World Brain Day

The World Federation of Neurology (WFN) has launched the world’s first World Brain Day today, dedicated to bringing attention to the importance of brain health and the prevention of brain diseases.

WFN said brain disorders, made up of mental, neurological and substance-use conditions, comprised 13% of the global burden of disease.

World Brain Day was intended to be a wake-up call to decision makers to put neurological conditions on the health agenda, WFN president Dr Raad Shakir said.
