“Every two seconds, someone in the world is having a stroke and it is the second leading cause of death worldwide, and the third leading cause of disability. Globally, one in eight deaths is caused by stroke,” said Dr Ahmad Muhammad. Consultant Stroke Physician, Neuroscience Institute, Hamad General Hospital.
