‘Brain stroke claims one every 6 secs globally'
Lucknow: To raise awareness about brain stroke, its early symptoms, emergency response, and advanced treatment options, Apollomedics Super Speciality Hospital launched 'PRAYAAS – Ek Koshish Behtar Zindagi Ki' on Sunday, marking World Brain Day. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Dr Mayank Somani, MD & CEO of the hospital, said that stroke claims one life every six seconds globally and remains one of the leading causes of death and disability. He stressed the importance of recognising early warning signs—such as slurred speech, facial drooping, and weakness on one side—and reaching a stroke-ready hospital within the golden window of 4 to 4.5 hours. Timely intervention through thrombolysis or mechanical thrombectomy, he added, can often prevent long-term damage or death. The event featured demonstration of stroke protocols and launch of Apollo Stroke Ready Ambulances and a 24x7 helpline (1066) for faster emergency response. tnn
