Sudden facial drooping, weakness of an arm, or difficulty speaking can indicate a stroke. Seek emergency medical care immediately. Every minute matters. @strokeaction_RW #StrokeAwareness

As we approach World Stroke Day, Rwanda NCD Alliance and @strokeaction_RW encourage everyone to make stroke prevention part of everyday life. Start with these steps: โœ… Monitor and control your blood pressure. โœ… Stay physically active and reduce time spent sitting. โœ… Eat a balanced diet with fruits, vegetables and less salt. โœ… Avoid tobacco and exposure to secondhand smoke. โœ… Manage diabetes and cholesterol with guidance from your healthcare provider, and follow prescribed treatment. Prevention is a shared responsibilityโ€”in our homes, workplaces and communities. Share these steps and encourage someone you care about to take action. Healthy people. Stronger communities. Together, letโ€™s work towards a stroke-free Rwanda. #StrokePrevention #WorldStrokeDay #ActFAST
