Care Designed Around Your Needs
Stroke is a medical emergency in which every minute counts. Agrim Hospital has a dedicated 10-bed Stroke Care Unit for hyperacute stroke management, supported by trained neuro-nursing staff, golden-period thrombolytic protocols, a Neuro Cath Lab for clot retrieval in eligible patients and a 15-bed advanced ICU. Care is coordinated by the Neurology, Neuro Interventional, Neurosurgery and Critical Care teams.
Recognise the signs: think FAST
- Face drooping on one side
- Arm or leg weakness or numbness
- Speech difficulty or confusion
- Time to act: note when symptoms began and call 63 9090 9911 or come to the emergency department immediately
Other warning signs include sudden loss of vision, sudden severe headache or sudden loss of balance. Do not wait for symptoms to settle, and do not give food or drink.
