World Brain Day 2025: A Global Health Initiative for All Ages

World Brain Day 2025, observed on July 22, 2025, focuses on 'Brain Health for All Ages.' This global campaign, led by the World Federation of Neurology (WFN), aims to raise awareness about neurological disorders and promote brain health across all life stages. The initiative emphasizes five key messages: awareness, education, prevention, access to care, and advocacy. These messages encourage global participation through webinars, toolkits, and regional events. The goal is to protect neurological well-being from early childhood to older age. Neurological disorders are a leading cause of disability and death worldwide, affecting billions of people. Early detection and intervention are crucial to improve outcomes. The African Academy of Neurology (AFAN) collaborates with WFN to amplify the campaign's impact in Africa. AFAN President Professor Lawrence Tucker and WFN Co-Chair Professor Tissa Wijeratne highlight the continent's role in global neurology. World Brain Day 2025 is a call to action for a lifelong commitment to brain health. This year's focus aligns with the growing recognition of the need for comprehensive brain health strategies globally, including increased investment in research, public health programs, and healthcare infrastructure.
