"As per the recent estimates, 15 million individuals worldwide suffer from strokes every year. And the world loses 5 million people and another 5 million people get permanently disabled.

Knowing the sudden and severe warning signs of a stroke will not only help save the lives of your dear ones but also reduce the number of individuals living with disabilities."
