World Stroke Week

Organizations around the world are promoting the use of early detection screenings, prevention and treatment to create awareness about strokes. October 29th marks the start of World Stroke Week, where globally medical organizations are hoping to educate people about the dangers, symptoms, treatments and prevention techniques for one of the world's leading causes of death. The World Health Organization has aid that globally over 15 million people suffer from a stroke yearly. 5 million of which succumb to death and another 5 million fall victim to disability. Strokes are the fifth leading cause of death among adults. A vast majority of westernized countries are seeing decreasing instances of stroke due in part to more education and preventative body imaging tests.
