Stroke Crisis in Kolkata: Urgent Action Needed to Save Lives

Imagine a sudden problem in your brain that can cause serious damage, called a stroke.

It's like a traffic jam in your brain's blood vessels, stopping important things from getting where they need to go.

Strokes can happen to anyone, not just old people.

In Kolkata, it's a big problem because people often don't get to the hospital fast enough.

Doctors are working hard to teach people the warning signs (like trouble with balance, vision, face, arm, or speech).

The quicker someone gets help, the better the chances of recovery.

They are also training doctors and creating programs like 'Time to Act' to spread the word and get people the help they need, faster.
