In this special World Brain Day episode of No Brain Behind, Drs. Rachel Forman and Christopher Orlando sit down with Dr. Steven Lewis, Secretary General of the World Federation of Neurology, to discuss global brain health and equity. Dr. Lewis shares insights on the growing burden of neurological disorders worldwide, the challenges of stigma and access, and the WFN’s initiatives to address these disparities. The conversation highlights the importance of global collaboration, technological innovations like tele-neurology, and the critical role of education and advocacy. We hope you will walk away inspired by practical steps and hopeful strategies for advancing brain health across borders!
