Wear Red Day being observed to raise awareness of stroke among women

Author: Marija Šestan

ZAGREB,  2 Feb (Hina) - The Croatian Neurological Association and the Croatian Society for Gender Differences in Neurological Diseases are organising Red Dress Day on Friday in order to raise awareness of stroke in women.

The central event will be a concert in the Zagreb-based National Theatre (HNK).

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.
