Strokes claim a large number of lives worldwide. According to the WHO, in 2016 alone, 31% of the human population (around 17 million people) have passed away from cardiovascular diseases, 85% of which are from heart disease and strokes. The World Stroke Organization has decreed October 29th as World Stroke Day to raise awareness of the fact.

There are four FAST ways to identify a stroke.

1.F – Face, ask the patient to smile and examine their faces to see if the two sides match.

2.A -Arm, ask the patient to raise their arms and see if one side sags from lack of strength.

3.S – Speech, ask the patient to say something and see if it’s slurred.

If any one of the above symptoms occur, it’s time to rush to the hospital!

4.T -Time, keep track of when the symptoms started showing, and send for an ambulance immediately. (the optimal time for hospitalization is 3 hours.)
