CORRE Armenia contra el ACV (Run Armenia Against Stroke)

World Stroke Campaign / World Stroke Day / World Stroke Day Events / CORRE Armenia contra el ACV (Run Armenia Against Stroke)

In Colombia We're introducing a tool to recognize in Spanish the FAST and BE-FAST scale, CORRE (Run) (Cara torcida, Rapida debilidad de un brazo o pierna, Raro al hablar, Emergencia 123) (C= Face O= visual deficit R=Arm R=Speech E=Time). As a member of the Stroke Committee of the Colombian Neurological Association, I organized a 6Km race, open to anyone, with the aim of spreading the CORRE strategy among the entire population, using shirts, caps, radio, social media, advertising signs, banners in the streets, during that day. I hope that people can learn to recognize the signs and symptoms of a stroke and thus ensure that they can consult an emergency department on time.
