Mission & Goals
SAFE works towards all patients in Europe with stroke having rights of access to a continuum of care. From prevention and risk identification, through emergency response to organised stroke units in acute phase, to appropriate rehabilitation and secondary prevention. SAFE’s vision is to work towards greatly decreasing the number of strokes in Europe and that all who are touched by stroke get the help and support they need. SAFE therefore engages in activities such as campaigning, education and encouraging research, which contribute to the advancement of stroke prevention and the improvement of the quality of life of stroke survivors, their families and carers. The overall aim of SAFE is to reduce the numbers of, and ameliorate the effects of, strokes across Europe.
