World Stroke Day
The theme for World Stroke Day 2025 is "Every Minute Counts," which emphasizes on the critical time period one need to act when someone shows the signs and symptoms of stroke. The theme reminds us to use of the acronym FAST — Face drooping, Arm weakness, Speech difficulty, Time to call emergency services—to ensure immediate medical attention, which can significantly improve recovery and reduce disability.
