Stroke Centre and Department of Early Rehabilitation 

A stroke is a medical condition associated with cerebral ischemia as a result of which the flow of blood to certain areas of the brain is reduced or completely stopped. It may also be caused by a torn blood vessel. 

Strokes are second on the list of causes of mortality, and top of the list of diseases that lead to disability. About 80% of people who suffer a stroke then experience disabilities, and about 25% of them require care round the clock.

If you have experienced one of the following symptoms, we urge you to contact the experts:

• a sharp rise in blood pressure
• headache
• loss of consciousness
• dizziness and unsteadiness when walking
• speech impairment
• weakness and numbness in the arms or legs.
