"Act FAST, it does save lives."
"The symptoms of stroke can be completely reversed and cured if you get to treatment within the first few hours,"
The Irish Heart Foundation’s Act F.A.S.T. campaign aims to raise awareness of the signs of stroke and the importance of calling an ambulance as soon as possible.
F.A.S.T. stands for Face, Arms, Speech and Time.
Effective stroke treatment is hugely time dependent. The faster you act, the more of the person you can save.
Stroke destroys two million brain cells every minute. If you suspect that someone is having a stroke call 112 or 999 immediately.
Every minute matters so act F.A.S.T.
Calling an ambulance and getting straight to the Emergency Department can make all the difference. Emergency stroke treatments can greatly reduce the disability a person may have after a stroke.
