The goal is to get the stroke victim to a hospital as quickly as possible to confirm the diagnosis because every minute is important.
In Mumbai, in year 2006, a group of neurologists launched an 24 hr helpline by name” ambulance access to all” in which anyone having symptoms of stroke can contact on the helpline to be picked by nearest ambulance for treatment
The ambulance is equipped with life saving equipment including defibrillator, ECG, cardiac monitor, ventilator and resuscitation kit.
PGIMER, Chandigarh too launched a stroke helpline in year 2014 to help patients with possible attack of stroke
