Why urgent hospitalisation is vitally important?
It is extremely important to ensure that a person who is experiencing the symptoms of a stroke, be taken to hospital urgently via ambulance. This is because ‘time is brain’, namely, getting a person to hospital early will allow quick diagnosis and treatment which may not only save the person’s life, but it may improve their recovery. There are now effective medications and surgery that a doctor can provide if they feel the patient is suitable for the treatment.
