Angels Initiative, Boehringer Ingelheim’s global healthcare
advocacy program, is expanding its Stroke Nurse Masterclass nationwide to
empower more nurses and elevate stroke care standards. In partnership with the
Stroke Society of the Philippines (SSP) as the certifying body, the Stroke
Nurse Masterclass 2025 officially launches at New World Hotel, Makati, with a
mission to strengthen stroke care capabilities and drive better health outcomes
for stroke patients. The program has recently received official
endorsement from the World Stroke Organization, recognizing its excellence in
stroke education and its meaningful impact in advancing stroke care across the
Philippines, in support of WSO’s global mission.
Stroke remains a leading cause of disability and death in the Philippines, with an average of 63,804 deaths annually.[1] The gap in stroke awareness and insufficient training among health workers contribute to the challenges in providing timely and effective stroke care, underscoring the need for specialized training and increased awareness within the healthcare system.[2]
