A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted, leading to potential brain damage and life-altering consequences. Prompt diagnosis and treatment are crucial to minimize the impact and support recovery.

Key Facts About Stroke

Types of Stroke:

• • Ischemic Stroke: Caused by a blood clot blocking blood flow.
  • Hemorrhagic Stroke: Caused by a ruptured blood vessel leading to brain bleeding.
  • Transient Ischemic Attack (TIA): A temporary blockage, often called a “mini-stroke.”

Warning Signs:

• Severe headache
• Loss of balance

Why Timely Treatment Matters

Every minute during a stroke, brain cells die rapidly. Early medical intervention can:

• Restore blood flow and oxygen to the brain.
• Minimize permanent damage.
• Increase the chances of recovery and rehabilitation.
