WORLD STROKE DAY
Every year, 12 million people experience a stroke. That's one every two seconds.
Stroke can happen suddenly, and without warning.
Stroke cuts off the supply of blood and oxygen to the brain. Every minute it goes untreated, millions of cells die. The longer the time gap, the more likely people are to be left with long-term brain damage that affects their ability to walk talk and manage everyday tasks on their own.
The sad truth is that 1 in every 2 people who experience a stroke will die from it. For those that survive, two thirds are left facing complications and long-term disabilities.
Knowing how to spot the signs of stroke and raising the alert is an essential first step that can help make sure people get the treatment they need, fast.
This doesn't just save lives, it increases the chance of a full recovery so that stroke survivors can go on to live their best life.
Every Minute Counts. Learn to spot the signs of stroke today.
