World Brain Day (WBD), first launched in 2014, is an annual event observed on July 22, aimed at promoting awareness and education for neurological disorders that affect individuals worldwide. Every year, the World Federation of Neurology sets a different theme to highlight the importance of brain health and its impact on human well-being.
In 2023, WBD will focus on brain health and disability. It underscores the need to prioritize brain health, especially in people with disabilities.
Many neurological disorders can lead to disabilities that affect an individual’s quality of life, such as mobility, cognitive functioning, and emotional well-being.
