World Stroke Day

A stroke occurs when the blood supply to the brain is interrupted. Since the brain requires a continuous supply of oxygen and glucose, a cut in the blood supply results in death of the particular part of the brain. The World Stroke Day 2017, established by the World Stroke Organization, is observed on 29th October, 2017. This year, individuals are urged to find the answer to the question: What is your Reason for Preventing Stroke?
