The first-ever WHO Resolution on Stroke, adopted in May 2026, marks a historic milestone for the global stroke community.
This Resolution recognizes stroke as an urgent global health priority and calls on all Member States to:

• Develop and implement national stroke plans covering prevention, acute care, rehabilitation, and long-term support.
• Strengthen health systems to improve access to quality stroke services.
• Establish robust data, monitoring systems, and stroke registries to measure progress and guide action.

For Stroke Action Rwanda, this Resolution is more than a global commitment—it is a powerful mandate to accelerate efforts toward better stroke prevention, timely treatment, comprehensive rehabilitation, and stronger support for stroke survivors and their families.
The Resolution has been adopted. Now it is time for implementation.

On Friday, 29 May 2026, joined the National Council of Persons with Disabilities (NCPD), the Umbrella of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities in the Fight Against HIV/AIDS and for Health Promotion (UPHLS), fellow Organizations of Persons with Disabilities (OPDs), and persons with disabilities in commemorating the 32nd remembrance of the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi in Rwanda.

This solemn occasion served as a moment to honor the memory of more than one million lives lost and to reflect on the profound impact the genocide had on persons with disabilities. While some individuals were living with disabilities before the genocide, many survivors acquired disabilities as a consequence of the atrocities committed during this tragic period.

During the commemoration, the Guest of Honour, Mrs. Urujeni Martine, Vice Mayor of the City of Kigali in charge of Socio-Economic Affairs, emphasized the collective responsibility of Organizations of Persons with Disabilities, partners, and communities to remain vigilant against genocide ideology, genocide denial, hate speech, and discrimination, including those spread through social media and other platforms.

Stroke Action Rwanda stands in solidarity with all survivors and reaffirms its commitment to promoting inclusion, human dignity, unity, peace, and the preservation of truth and history to ensure that such a tragedy never happens again.
