Time lost is brain lost.

Every year, World Stroke Day (29 October) reminds us of an important message: stroke can happen to anyone, at any age, and recognising the signs quickly can save a life.

That's why the award-winning Eastern Health Stroke team is asking you to remember a simple message for World Stroke Day: Act FAST.

This stands for Face, Arms, Speech, Time. Take a few moments to learn the FAST signs and share them with family, friends, colleagues, and neighbours. You never know when this knowledge could help save someone's life.
