Signs of STROKE! Act F.A.S.T

..........................................
When STROKE strikes, it spreads like fire in the brain.
But you can't see the damage.
Just spot the signs of stroke, you have to think and act F.A.S.T.

1. Face -has their face fallen one side? Can they smile?
2. Arms -can they raise both arms and keep them there?
3. Speech -is their speech slurred?
4. Time -Just like fire, it's time to call 999 if you see any single one of these signs.
(for Tanzania, it's time send the patient to hospital immediately)

The earlier you act the more of a person you save.

When STROKE strikes act FAST!
