Report:
The Saudi Advisory Group Against Stroke has organized the 4th Saudi Stroke Awareness Day in the 4 Season Hotel Kingdom Hall on June 23, 2005, under the patron of the Minister of Health.
It was an opportunity for physicians to join varying disciplines to actively participate in this important debate and share their knowledge and experiences. The aim of the scientific meeting was to arrive at a consensus of action steps for stroke prevention and treatment in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. It was also a great chance for the public to learn more on stroke. The media cover was immense, including Saudi TV, radio and local newspapers.
