Today I received a post that I consider to be highly relevant – the impact of stroke.
Stroke is a time critical event. It can happen to anyone and, unless treated correctly and promptly can lead to severe disabilities or even death !
Post-stroke, if one survives, the whole family is faced with a long period of uncertain recovery and financial stress. Indeed, it can destroy families and not only the present but future generations as scarce resources are diverted.
The great tragedy of stroke is that in many cases its effects may be lessened if timely correct treatment is provided. Awareness of stroke symptoms is however very limited - not only amongst the general populace but also the medical community.
CATHI provides high-end simulation that improves physicians‘ response to stroke as time and proper measures are crucial.
CATHI embraces all initiatives that raise the awareness of this disease that affect 1 of 4 over 60 years. One of them is „Stroke Support India“, a small NGO with the mission of " Raising Stroke Awareness and Supporting Stroke Survivors and their Families" For more details see: strokesupport.in/standy/
