Brain Health Summit

7 May 2024

Queen Mathilde attended the Brain Health Summit 2024 at the Palais des Académies in Brussels.

Theme of this year's summit, organized by the European Academy of Neurology was "From Managing Neurological Disorders to Promoting Brain Health in Europe".

More than 3 billion people worldwide suffer from a neurological disease. The summit wants to underline the importance of more research, prevention and health precautions to make the wider public aware of this.

 

As a student and a speech therapist Mathilde was professionally confronted with this reality. Sadly her own father also died from a neurological condition in 2008.
