As a freshly minted MBBS intern, I attended a National Seminar on Hemorrhagic and Ischemic Stroke at Sikkim Manipal Institute of Medical Sciences. The seminar provided a comprehensive overview of strokes, emphasizing the urgent need for timely intervention to minimize neurological damage. It also highlighted advancements in stroke management, including the use of minimally invasive techniques, and underscored the importance of public awareness and swift action in saving lives.
