Stroke continues to be a concern globally, especially in the MENA region where it claimed over 230,000 lives in 2019 alone. The American Stroke Association's Stroke Center Certification is your hospital's commitment to excellence in stroke care. By certifying, hospitals empower themselves to uphold the highest standards, ensuring that every stroke patient receives timely, evidence-based treatment. Stroke Center-certified hospitals are equipped to streamline their stroke care processes, reduce the margin of error, and ultimately, save more lives.  Elevate the quality of care in your hospital while positioning yourself as a leader in the global fight against stroke.

As we journey on to raise awareness about stroke, we present three powerful narratives from patients and caregivers that underscore the profound importance of comprehensive stroke care. These stories are not merely accounts but stark reminders of the difference that timely and comprehensive stroke care can make. They reveal both the intense struggles and the remarkable journey in the recovery journey of stroke. Watch these narratives and understand why, a comprehensive care is not an option; but indeed a necessity.   For more info about SMCV Comprehensive Stroke Care, visit: https://bit.ly/4fvKFCk #SMCV #SunMedVelocity #StrokeCareExcellence #ComprehensiveStrokeCare #StrokeAwareness #ExpertStrokeCare #AdvancedStrokeTreatment #StrokeRecovery #ActFASTcovery #ActFAST
