Neurology facts:
There are more than 400 neurological disorders. These include cerebrovascular diseases, neurodegenerative diseases, rare diseases & low priority diseases. By tackling them as ONE we have a better chance of understanding all – cure one, cure many!
Neurological disorders have the highest prevalence, biggest disability & greatest cost among #NCDs worldwide. The #OneNeurology initiative wants to address the common issues faced by those affected. If we unite and act together, we have a stronger voice!

Over the past 30 years, the number of deaths due to neurological disorders has increased by almost 40%. 80% of this burden is occurring the lower and middle income countries. If we want all those living with neurological disorders to get equitable access to care and treatment, we need to tackle the problem as ONE.
At least 1 in 3 people of all ages will have a neurological disorder in their lifetime. Neurological disorders tend to be chronic, life-long conditions. This is a high-priority problem, which warrants a global solution.

In 2010, the cost of neurological disorders was €336 billion in Europe alone – equivalent to Denmark’s GDP. This is the highest cost among all non-communicable diseases and will continue to rise if we do not approach the problem in a united way.

The NCD Countdown 2030 states that the risk of dying from neurological conditions increased for more than half of countries worldwide making them the fastest-growing cause of death among NCDs. If we want to reverse this trend, we must act as a united front and address the burden together
