Not the “phones are destroying a generation” kind. The real kind. Because here’s the thing:…

भारत में Stroke अब केवल एक अचानक आने वाली मेडिकल इमरजेंसी नहीं रह गया है, बल्कि यह एक लंबी और जटिल बीमारी के रूप में सामने आ रहा है। समय पर इलाज और आधुनिक चिकित्सा सुविधाओं की वजह से अब पहले के मुकाबले ज्यादा मरीजों की जान बचाई जा रही है। लेकिन इसके बाद जो असली चुनौती शुरू होती है, वह है मरीज को फिर से सामान्य जीवन में लौटाना। अस्पताल से छुट्टी मिलने के बाद मरीजों को लंबे समय तक न्यूरो-रिहैबिलिटेशन की जरूरत होती है। इसमें फिजियोथेरेपी, स्पीच थेरेपी, ऑक्युपेशनल थेरेपी और लगातार विशेषज्ञों की निगरानी शामिल होती है।…
