Commission of China and in collaboration with China’s Million Disability Reduction Project. Established in 2025, it serves as the official branch of the World Stroke Organization (WSO) in China. Led by Academician Ji Xunming of the Chinese Academy of Engineering, the WSO China Center is an international academic and medical collaboration platform dedicated to advancing the standardization of stroke prevention and treatment systems in China, enhancing clinical care quality, reducing disease burden, and contributing to the achievement of the "Healthy China 2030" strategic goals and President Xi Jinping’s vision of building "a global community of health for all." The Center systematically elevates China’s stroke prevention capabilities while promoting global stroke care development.

Core Missions

1. Standardized System Development

Aligning with WSO’s international certification standards, the Center establishes a nationwide tiered stroke center management system to optimize care processes, narrow regional disparities in medical quality, and achieve "homogenized, standardized" stroke treatment.

2. End-to-End Capacity Building

Through WSO-certified training programs, the Center provides technical empowerment across the full continuum of care—from prehospital emergency response to post-stroke rehabilitation. A quality control monitoring platform dynamically tracks critical metrics (e.g., door-to-needle time compliance rate, endovascular therapy rates) to drive continuous improvements in service quality.

3. Multidimensional Disability Reduction

Leveraging China’s Million Disability Reduction Project, the Center prioritizes addressing gaps in primary prevention and promotes scalable interventions, including stroke unit management models, high-risk population screening and intervention, and thrombolytic/thrombectomy therapies. It aims to achieve an average annual reduction of 1.5% in stroke-related disability, supporting rural revitalization and health equity.

4. Global Governance Engagement

Actively integratedWSO’s global network (currently encompassing 147 member countries), the Center leads the development of Asian regional stroke prevention standards, fosters international academic collaboration, advances evidence-based traditional Chinese medicine research, and establishes a model for disseminating "Chinese solutions" to global stakeholders.
