Former French health minister Roselyne Bachelot stressed the need to mobilize to reduce the frequency and severity of functional sequelae of stroke.
The minister then drew up a quantitative inventory of the French situation, at the very least alarming: The attacks of the brain affect 150,000 new people each year, placing third in the cause of death in France (the second among women) .
Children too
In our collective unconscious, strokes mainly affect adults and the risk increases with age. Yet, children are also affected, and many cases of stroke are found in infants or children. The child’s stroke association was created to inform parents about the disease, known causes, sequelae and behaviors when a child has a stroke.
