Dewcare supports World Stroke Day
Raising Awareness to Save Lives
To increase awareness of one of the leading causes of death and disability, World Stroke Day is observed globally. Anyone, anywhere, at any time, can be affected by a stroke. The day serves as a reminder that early intervention can save lives, and that raising stroke awareness is critical to mitigating its global impact. Communities can significantly reduce the risk of stroke and improve outcomes for survivors by introducing proactive treatment and education.
It can save lives to recognize the warning signs of stroke. Critical symptoms can be easily remembered with the help of the FAST method:
F – Face Drooping: One side of the face may appear uneven when smiling.
A – Arm Weakness: Sudden numbness or weakness in one arm.
S – Speech Difficulty: Slurred speech or difficulty understanding others.
T – Time to Call Emergency Services: Immediate medical attention is essential.
Acting fast when these warning signs occur can minimize the damage to the brain. Immediate response, especially in the first few hours can make a huge difference.
