A stroke occurs when blood flow to a part of the brain is interrupted or reduced, depriving brain tissue of oxygen and nutrients. This can lead to sudden weakness, paralysis, speech difficulties, or loss of coordination. Recognizing the signs early and seeking immediate medical attention is crucial for effective treatment and recovery.
Pt. Fortune Okili emphasizes the importance of understanding stroke not only from a medical perspective but also through compassionate patient support. Educating patients and their families about stroke prevention, symptoms, and rehabilitation options empowers them to take proactive steps toward recovery.
