Acquired brain injury (ABI) is any type of brain injury that happens after birth. It covers many different situations rather than just one disease or condition, and it may occur in many different ways.
The Council of Ministers has declared October 26 "National Acquired Brain Injury Day" (Día nacional del Daño Cerebral Adquirido). The aim is to turn this date into an event capable of mobilizing society and involving it in the prevention of this type of injury.
