World Stroke Day Campaign

World Stroke Day

When somebody has a stroke, every second that goes by is crucial. As brain tissue and millions of neurons begin to fade away, time could not be more precious. Our #Precioustime campaign aims to raise awareness of stroke signs and the benefits of timely access to emergency medical care.
