In 2021, 5,018 people in Croatia died of a stroke, and 60% of them were women.
The goal of the Red Dress Day educational campaign is to raise public awareness of the specifics of stroke in women, to draw attention to the disastrous consequences of ignoring symptoms and to the necessity of changing lifestyles.
One in five women in Croatia will experience a stroke, and one in three patients will die as a result of the disease, the association have recently said.
The campaign called "Go Red for Women" was launched in the USA in 2004.
