The event will take place on May 14, 2024 from 16:00 to 18:00 at the Congress Center CCB Basel and is aimed at those affected, stroke survivors, doctors, the public and representatives from politics and health insurance companies.
The lack of a specific patient organization for stroke survivors in Switzerland has led to the organization of a public event on this topic. Other countries have successfully established such organizations and it is important to address this issue in order to discuss the possibility of creating a similar institution in Switzerland.
The aim of this event is to highlight the importance of patient organizations for stroke survivors, to provide insights into the process of establishing such an organization and to lead a discussion on why Switzerland needs such an organization and what steps are necessary to achieve this.
The following objectives will be pursued with this event:
- Raising national awareness of the need for a patient organization for stroke survivors in Switzerland.
- Facilitate discussions and connections between stakeholders.
- Explore best practices from other countries in establishing stroke patient organizations.
- Initiate a dialogue on the importance of such organizations for ethical, clinical and social support.
- Identify potential leaders and advocates for the establishment of a stroke survivor patient organization.
