Abstract:

Stroke is the leading cause of human popularization and the primary cause of adult disability. With accelerated societal aging, rapid urbanization, and the prevalence of unhealthy lifestyles in China, the disease burden of stroke has shown a rapid growth trend. In 2021, the National Health Commission launched the "Strengthening Stroke Prevention and Treatment Project to Reduce One Million New Disabilities". Subsequently, in May 2023, it established the Expert Committee for Strengthening Stroke Prevention and Treatment and Reducing One Million New Disabilities under the National Health Commission. These initiatives aim to leverage nationwide expert teams to guide stroke prevention and treatment efforts, systematically enhance stroke management capabilities, and accelerate progress toward achieving the "One Million New Disabilities Reduction" target. This article primarily introduces the project's organizational structure, operational model, implementation strategies, and preliminary outcomes achieved.

Key words: Stroke, Stroke prevention and control, National millions of disabilities reduction project
