World Stroke Day 2020

A stroke happens when blood can’t flow to the brain — either because a clot is in the way or a blood vessel in the brain bursts.

Each year, nearly 14 million people worldwide will suffer a stroke. It is the leading cause of disability among adults, and the second leading cause of death worldwide.

Many people have misconceptions about stroke that may cause delays in seeking treatment, but time is very, very crucial when it comes to stroke treatment.

Today, on World Stroke Day, let's keep one another safe by raising awareness and checking up on our loved ones. Be equipped with the right information you need to keep yourself and your loved ones safe.
