The iconic Burj Khalifa lit up in solidarity for #WorldStrokeDay, thanks to the collaborative efforts of Johns Hopkins Medicine, the Sheikh Khalifa Stroke Institute, the MENA Stroke Organization and the American Heart Association. This powerful display underscores our shared commitment to raise awareness about #stroke, a major public health challenge affecting 9,000 to 11,000 people in the #UAE alone each year. Our longstanding collaboration with the UAE Embassy - Washington, DC, is dedicated to advancing the health and well-being of the Emirati community. By working together, Johns Hopkins and UAE scientists and practitioners translate the latest science and innovations into impactful treatments, reducing the toll of stroke across the UAE, the U.S., and worldwide. This World Stroke Day, we reaffirm our commitment to pioneering stroke care solutions and improving health outcomes globally. Thank you to the the Emaar Burj Khalifa team for helping us raise awareness and "shine light" on this critical health issue. #StrokeAwareness #StrokeCare #JohnsHopkinsMedicine #UAE #WorldStrokeDay #BurjKhalifa
