Dubai Health Authority launches stroke awareness campaign


In the UAE, after road accidents, stroke is the second leading cause of disability. Annually 7000-8000 patients in the UAE get a stroke, this means every hour, one person gets a stroke. Internationally the number is 100 to 120 cases per 100,000 so we are within the international range, however, unfortunately in the UAE stroke patients are much younger than those in western countries.

Dr Rukn, said that it is essential for people to be aware of risk factors, to conduct yearly health screenings and those with one or more risk factors, can opt for the stroke risk calculator test, which basically tabulates the likelihood of a person getting a stroke in the next ten years.
