Stroke Prevention Programme
Overview
A stroke happens when blood flow to part of the brain is interrupted. This can cause brain cells to die, leading to lasting problems with movement, speech, memory, and more. Strokes are a leading cause of disability and death worldwide, but the good news is that many strokes can be prevented.
