Stroke (Ischemic & Hemorrhagic)

A stroke is a medical emergency that occurs when blood supply to the brain is interrupted, causing brain cells to become damaged or die. Ischemic strokes result from blocked blood vessels, while hemorrhagic strokes occur due to bleeding within the brain. Warning signs include sudden weakness on one side of the body, difficulty speaking, facial drooping, vision problems, severe headache, and loss of balance.

Immediate medical intervention is critical to minimize brain damage and improve recovery outcomes. Our stroke care team provides rapid evaluation using brain imaging, neurological assessment, and advanced monitoring. Early treatment may include clot-dissolving medications, blood pressure control, or surgical intervention depending on stroke type.

Rehabilitation plays a crucial role in recovery. Post-stroke therapy may include physiotherapy, speech therapy, occupational therapy, and cognitive rehabilitation to restore independence and function.

Risk factor management is essential to prevent recurrence. Patients receive guidance on controlling blood pressure, diabetes, cholesterol, smoking cessation, and lifestyle modification. With rapid response and comprehensive care, stroke patients can achieve improved recovery and quality of life.
