Time is Brain: Recognizing Stroke Symptoms Immediately

A stroke happens when blood flow to the brain is blocked. In Dehradun, where weather and travel can be difficult, being able to recognize the signs of a stroke at home is a life-saving skill.

The "FAST" Rule for Stroke

  • Face: Ask the person to smile. Does one side droop?
  • Arms: Ask them to raise both arms. Does one drift down?
  • Speech: Is their speech slurred or strange?
  • Time: If you see any signs, call our emergency neuro center at Kargi Chowk immediately.

Our specialized Neurosciences department, led by Dr. Mahesh Kuriyal, uses advanced scans to quickly identify and treat brain emergencies 24/7. Don't wait for symptoms to "go away"—early treatment prevents permanent disability.
