Stroke Aotearoa NZ : Healthpoint

Description

Every year, it’s estimated over 9,000 strokes and an unknown number of transient ischaemic attacks happen in New Zealand. It is the second leading cause of death in New Zealand, and a leading cause of adult disability. Stroke Aotearoa New Zealand is here to lead the fight against stroke. Te Ahi Tūmanako, the flame of hope, connects us and symbolises taking action and advocating for others, ensuring that hope remains alive and thriving in our communities.

We seek to inspire, unify, and mobilise collective action against stroke. Together, we can build a stronger, healthier, Aotearoa.
