October 29, World Stroke Day

Every year, October 29 is World Stroke Day, set by the World Stroke Organization (WSO) in 2006.
The purpose of this day is to increase public awareness about the problem of stroke, about the possibilities of its prevention, informing about early signs of the disease and the need for timely assistance.

Kyrgyzstan ranks first in the world in terms of mortality from stroke. Vascular diseases account for more than half of deaths, and if recently a stroke was mainly found in patients older than 55-60 years, then in recent years the disease has become “younger”. About a third of cases occur in people younger than 30-40 years old. In recent years, the number of rehabilitation centers has increased in the country.
