• The World Federation of Neurology (WFN)celebrates World Brain Day on every July 22, focusing on a different theme each year. According to WHO, good brain health is a state in which every individual can realize their own abilities and optimize their cognitive, emotional, psychological and behavioural functioning to cope with life situations.
• Theme of World Brain Day 2022: “Brain Health for all”

This year’s World Brain Day campaign consists of 5 key messages:

1. Awareness:

• Create awareness about brain and brain diseases. Give special lectures on brain to children in schools and colleges.

2. Prevention:

• Serious diseases like stroke, brain infection, epilepsy etc. can be controlled by proper preventive measures. Around 80 to 90 percent of stroke cases can be prevented by controlling its underlying causes like high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, heart diseases, obesity, smoking etc.

3. Advocacy:

• It is very important that the scientific study of brain diseases, new discoveries and treatments are accessible to the masses at an affordable cost.

4. Education:

• Education for all is still on paper in many parts of the world and all governments and non-governmental organizations of the world must join hands to overcome this socio-educational inequality.

5. Access:

• Resources for information and treatment of brain diseases should be easily accessible to everyone in all parts of the world, be it in the form of digital information or in the form of newsletters for awareness campaigns.
