EDITOR—Yesterday was
World Stroke Day. The day aims at improving global awareness of stroke and its optimal management. What is stroke? It is a brain injury most likely caused by a blood clot interrupting blood flow in the brain and if not detected early enough, can result in long- term dementia. The disease has therefore been marked as the most common cause of adult disability.
