Stroke

A stroke occurs when blood flow to the brain is suddenly blocked or when there is bleeding inside the brain. It is a medical emergency that needs immediate attention. Early treatment can save lives and greatly improve recovery.

Highlights of Stroke Care:

• Recognizing warning signs like sudden weakness, slurred speech, or vision problems.
• Quick brain scans to confirm the type of stroke.
• Advanced treatment including clot-busting therapy (intravenous thrombolysis).
• Rehabilitation support with physiotherapy and occupational therapy.
• Guidance on lifestyle changes to prevent another stroke.
