At a time when every sixth person in the world is getting affected by complex and fatal disease of stroke, it is imperative that awareness should be raised among the public to enable them to protect themselves from this disease by adopting preventive measures. All efforts to raise awareness and prevent people from getting affected from such complex diseases are akin to serving the humanity. Similarly other related diseases which cause deaths and paralysis are treatable which can be overcome by adopting preventive measures. Efforts should be made to adopt healthy lifestyle by shunning habits causing this disease like smoking and other such unhealthy activities. Therefore, it is required that not only relevant government departments in cooperation with welfare institutions should undertake all necessary steps to raise awareness among the people but also the scope of efforts to provide maximum facilities for treatment should be expanded.  In this regard, the efforts of World Federation of Neurology and World Stroke Organization are commendable.
