The book, featuring 15 detailed chapters, is a practical guide for physicians, focusing on recognizing and managing stroke emergencies with the utmost efficiency.

Delay in treatment can lead to irreversible damage, making public awareness and physician preparedness crucial in improving patient outcomes.

l Early identification of stroke symptoms using the FAST (Face, Arm, Speech, Time) approach.
l Comprehensive guidelines for emergency stroke management and treatment protocols.
l • Chapters on the latest advancements in stroke care, including thrombolysis, thrombectomy, and rehabilitation.
l Insights into preventive strategies and risk factor management tailored to the Indian population.
“Stroke care in India needs a paradigm shift, and this book is a vital resource for empowering physicians with the knowledge and skills to act swiftly during emergencies. Together with API, we aim to strengthen the healthcare system’s response to stroke through Mission Brain Attack,” said Dr.Nirmal Surya, President , Indian Stroke Association.
“Stroke is a medical emergency that demands urgent attention. This monograph provides a roadmap for physicians to improve stroke outcomes and save lives. It is a proud moment for us to release this significant contribution at APICON 2025,” added Dr. Nirmal Surya.
Dr Nirmal Surya, remarked during the launch, “This initiative is a step forward in enhancing stroke care in India. By equipping physicians with advanced knowledge, we are not only saving lives but also creating a healthier future for the nation.”
