Brain Health Summit

The Brain Health Summit is an initiative aligned with the strategy of the European Academy of Neurology, the Polish Neurological Society and the Polish Society of Pediatric Neurology.

The common goal of the venture is to raise public awareness about brain health as well as introduce changes in the healthcare system and launch preventive programs.

The summit aims to spread information and raise awareness among all stakeholders – government officials, healthcare professionals, patient organizations, scientists, academics, pharmaceutical industry, and the public.

Why is brain health so important?

A healthy brain is essential for reducing the mounting healthcare burden of brain diseases. It is also crucial for maintaining a high quality of life and optimizing functioning at both the individual and social levels.

After all, brain health is not simply the absence of disease; it involves, first and foremost, disease prevention and rehabilitation that enable people to function and cope with life situations.

We hope that the themes addressed at the Brain Health Summit and the nature of the event will draw your interest.
