New Delhi, India: Moolchand Hospital has launched a public awareness campaign to educate citizens about the importance of early stroke recognition using the globally accepted BEFAST guidelines. Stroke is one of the leading causes of death and disability in India, but timely recognition and immediate medical attention can save lives and improve recovery outcomes.
The BEFAST acronym highlights six critical signs of stroke that everyone should know:
B – Balance: Sudden loss of balance, dizziness, or difficulty walking.
E – Eyes: Sudden blurred or double vision, or loss of eyesight in one or both eyes.
F – Face: Drooping of one side of the face, uneven smile, or numbness.
A – Arms: Weakness or numbness in one arm; inability to raise both arms evenly.
S – Speech: Slurred speech, difficulty speaking, or trouble understanding.
T – Time to Call: If any of these symptoms appear, it’s critical to call emergency services immediately.
According to neurologists at Moolchand, acting quickly can mean the difference between full recovery and lifelong disability.
India sees nearly 1.8 million new stroke cases annually, and urban lifestyles are increasing the risk factors such as hypertension, diabetes, smoking, and obesity. “Every minute counts in stroke management. Recognizing the early signs and reaching a hospital with specialized stroke care facilities can dramatically improve survival and recovery,” said a senior neurologist from Moolchand.
As one of the top hospitals in Delhi, Moolchand Hospital has established itself as a comprehensive stroke care centre. The hospital combines:
Superb neurologists and neurosurgeons with decades of experience
Cutting-edge technology including advanced CT and MRI scanners for rapid diagnosis
24x7 emergency and ICU support for immediate intervention
Compassionate care teams that support patients and families during critical moments
Integrity and affordable prices, ensuring life-saving care is accessible to all
Moolchand’s campaign emphasizes that stroke awareness is not just for doctors—it’s for everyone. By teaching the BEFAST method to families, schools, workplaces, and communities, Moolchand aims to empower citizens to take immediate action when stroke strikes.
“Stroke is a medical emergency, but it is also a time-sensitive emergency,” said the hospital management. “By spreading awareness, we hope to save countless lives and reduce disability rates.”
Through this campaign, Moolchand reinforces its legacy of superb physicians, cutting-edge technology, compassionate care, integrity, and affordable prices. Recognized as one of the best hospitals in India, Moolchand remains committed to public health education and life-saving emergency care.
By remembering BEFAST, every citizen has the power to recognize stroke early and act quickly—because at Moolchand, we do what’s right for you.
