Evercare Hospital raises awareness on World Stroke Day

Evercare Hospital Dhaka organised a rally and an awareness session on Thursday to highlight the importance of recognising stroke symptoms and taking immediate action marking World Stroke Day under the theme “Spot It, Stop It.”

The event was attended by Dr Ratnadeep Chaskar, CEO and managing director of Evercare Hospitals, Bangladesh and Dr Arif Mahmud, group medical director of the hospitals, said a press release.

The discussion featured Prof Dr Abdul Kader Shaikh, senior consultant and coordinator, Department of Neurology; Dr Khandker Mahbubar Rahman, senior consultant; Dr SM Hasan Shahriar, senior consultant; and Prof Dr Anwar Israil, senior consultant, all from the Department of Neurology at Evercare Hospital Dhaka.

During the awareness session, specialists discussed the warning signs of stroke and the immediate steps that should be taken.

Dr Arif Mahmud, group medical director of Evercare Hospitals, Bangladesh, said, “Time plays the most critical role in stroke treatment. At Evercare Hospital Dhaka, advanced neurology and neurosurgery services are available under one roof. From emergency care to critical care, our stroke unit remains ready to provide care to patients. However, these services can make a difference only when people are aware of the warning signs and patients are brought to the hospital in time.”

Our goal at Evercare Hospital Dhaka is to make internationally benchmarked healthcare accessible in Bangladesh. Through this World Stroke Day initiative, we aim to raise public awareness so that people can recognise the symptoms of stroke and make the right decisions without delay.”

The Department of Neurology at Evercare Hospital Dhaka provides consultation, diagnostic evaluation, and treatment for a wide range of conditions affecting the brain, spinal cord, peripheral nerves, and muscles.

In collaboration with the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Centre, the hospital also offers neurorehabilitation services for patients recovering from stroke.
