中国 北京－2009年6月21日 经卫生部批准，由中国老年保健医学研究会和中国医药卫生事业发展基金会主办、GE医疗集团协办的"脑中风筛查及防控工程"今日在卫生部正式启动。该项目旨在推动中国脑中风防控体系的建立和发展，有效遏制脑中风的发病和死亡，改善人民群众的健康状况和生活质量。
脑中风（专业术语"卒中"）是一种急性脑血管病，具有发病率高、致残率高和死亡率高的特点。我国居民第三次死因调查结果显示，脑血管病已成为国民第一位的死因，死亡率高于欧美国家4-5倍，是日本的3.5倍，甚至高于泰国、印度等发展中国家。根据北京安贞医院20年脑卒中病例资料分析，致死性中风仅占27%，大部分卒中病人存活且遗留偏瘫、失语等严重影响生活质量的残疾。目前，我国每年用于治疗脑血管病的费用估计约120多亿元，再加上各种间接经济损失，每年因本病的总支出近200亿元。
