The objectives of the Society are:

2. to create an awareness of the prevalence of stroke disorders and to improve the standard of stroke diagnosis and treatment; and
3. to encourage, develop or assist in the development of research in stroke and related disciplines.

The Society shall have Fellows, Members and Associate Members, and only the Fellows have the voting power and the right of office or membership of the Stroke Council. A Fellow shall be a qualified clinician of good standing practicing in Hong Kong who has published papers on stroke in international journals and spends substantial amount of professional time on stroke patients.

This year, we have made a good start with stroke specialists broadcasting life at Hong Kong Radio Station in May on various topics of stroke. We are preparing for more lectures in the coming months.

Next year, we shall cerebrate our 10th year anniversary and we are expecting to heighten our activities.
